Is "A aligns with B" equivalent to "B aligns with A"?
I'm writing to express the similarity between the research directions of a professor and mine with "his research aligns with my project". I wonder if this is improper. Does it imply that my project is more important and provides a standard that the professor should "align with"? Should I say "my project aligns with his research" instead? ChatGPT told me the sentence is fine, and suggested using "his research resembles my project" if I want to be more neutral. Is that right? TIA

Has anyone reached native level accuracy ?
I have been studying English for a very long time. I think I studied more than five thousand hours dedicated , thousand prive lessons , almost thousand class lesson in the UK ,a alot more self studying every resource on the internet claim that a thousand hours dedicated studying should have enough for C2 level but I feel I am far beyond C2. I don't know even it is archievable anymore , I am not sure if I can maintain my motivation a few thousand hours more before starting this journey I thought two years will enough but now I feel even a decade may not enough, my speaking pace almost as same as my native language and also my listening skilll good however I continuously do gramatical mistakes either on paper or while I speak I would like to hear , If anyone solved their language problem how many years did it take ? What did you throughout journey ?
