I grew up in English speaking country and people tell me something about my accent feels odd
https://voca.ro/1lwxOhGvO19O Growing up, I’ve been very insecure about my accent since I struggled to learn English even though I came here when I was really young. I did move back and forth between my home country and where I live right now a lot until Grade 6, so I’m not sure if this has influenced me (I believe I’m fully bilingual now). Some people say that I sound native, some people tell me that there is something off about my accent. So I wanted to try out this subreddit and let you guys judge my accent.
I don't understand why he uses "exceeding".
I looked up "exceeding" in a dictionary but it didn't give me the asnwer. And, what does he mean by "to tackle it this way" And why did he use "alike" instead of "like", are they interchangeable?

How to actually get to native speaker level?
I really feel my English has plateaued. I live in the US, work full time, talk to my neighbor and coworkers every day. However, I don’t feel I’m improving, because the people I talk to will not point out my problems. I’m also comfortable speaking at work but I only use the words I know repetitively. Any suggestions? Any platform is helpful? Most of the tools on the market are for beginners IMO.
What's the difference?

Is inversing the phrase “I have not played the piano” into “Not have I played the piano” grammatically correct?

Saw a debate on the pronunciation of one and won being the same. Are they the same?
I feel like at the end of "won", the mouth is a bit wider than "one"

"I've been reading until you came" vs "i read until you've been coming"
Someone stops you while you were reading to ask you which book you've been into and then you reply: a) This one (pointing at the book itself) i've been reading until you came. b) This one (wiggling the book about) i read until you've been coming. Questions: Are there any subtle difference between these two options? I know "read" (past simple) naunces more the action now gone but this might as well have a more stress on why the action ended. Like being mad because of someone coming and crossing words. Do you agree?
