Born and raised Northern Irish but I'm routinely told I sound American
.........even if you can't tell I'm from Northern Ireland could you still rate my accent anyway? 😅 [https://voca.ro/1mKdwjwnOp5l](https://voca.ro/1mKdwjwnOp5l)
Can you describe what you see using at least one completed sentence?
Just for fun. It's exciting to see what we can get. 😄
Do you native speakers use the phrase "something cold" when offering a beverage choice to a guest?
For instance ***"Can I get you something to drink? Tea, coffee or something cold maybe?"*** Does this sound natural? I have seen this in books but not in movies or TV shows. I was curious how common this phrasing was along with tea and coffee choices in offering a beverage. Thanks in advance!

How do I retain my English level?
I've recently passed the Cambridge C2 proficiency exam and scored 220 on it. My main concern before taking the test was that I won't pass, but now that I have, I don't know what to do. Now all of a sudden, I have no goal and am just mindlessly consuming content in English in order to somehow remain relatively proficient in it. Lately, I've been noticing changes in my speaking (been having troubles with my accent slipping up) and writing abilities and it feels as though I'm putting in too much thought and effort into finding words to express my thoughts. It scares me, so I'd really appreciate all the help I can get, thanks!
Can you use the word "perfume" for a man?
I asked my male friend (native English speaker) if he wears perfume and he said men wear cologne, not perfume.
Why do so many people say "could of"?
I've just seen a lot of people say "could of" when gramatically it should be "could have". Is there any reason for it or is that just a common mistake?
How do native speakers pronounce "risked"
I find it hard to pronounce. I've heard people pronounce "asked" as "ast". Do you pronounce "risked" as "wrist"?
Sitting in / on that chair
I think "sitting on" the right one but I couldn't get how is "sitting in" is also right. I would accept "in" as right if it is used as "sitting in living room". Am I wrong?
