Hi Guys! Would appreciate it if you could tell what accent I have?
Hey guys! I just came across this sub recently and found it quite interesting. I've always wanted to know exactly what accent I have, so I would really appreciate it if you guys could tell what my accent is! The more specific, the better!

Did this guy mispronounce "both sides" as "both size"?
In this video, to my ears, he mispronounced “both sides” as “both size.” Didn’t he? He's from Korea and he teaches English pronunciation. the link is below: [https://youtu.be/ZLSrO5M3Qao?t=211](https://youtu.be/ZLSrO5M3Qao?t=211)
Anyone please explain me what these lines mean out of this classroom experiment.
>Experiment #5: -- “Hangers and Spoons” – Sound Waves Traveling Through A Medium (Hangers and spoons with a strings attached. Note: For younger students, attaching dixie cups to the end of the strings can be beneficial if they have difficulties wrapping the string around their fingers.) In this experiment, have the students take either a hanger or spoon and then wrap the end of the strings around each of their index fingers 3 times. ***After they have completed this task, have the students carefully swing their spoon or hanger so that it lightly taps against a table or wall. Ask the students, What Do You Hear? They should hear a light clanging sound. Now, have students carefully place their index fingers or dixie cups in the front of the opening of their ear canal. Once they have done this, have the students lean over and swing the hanger or the spoon again so that it taps against the table or wall.*** Have the students observe what happens and then repeat the question, What Do You Hear? The spoon should sound like a bell and the hanger sounds like a gong. Ask the students, Why Does Banging The Hanger Or Spoon Against The Table Or Wall Sound Different When You Put The String Up To Your Ears? Note: Ensure that students have an opportunity to try both the hanger and spoon before you proceed to the next experiment.

The string transmits the sound directly to our ears making the sound louder and more distinct. The yarn acts as a conductor of sound energy. The string is the medium through which the sound waves
Improve my English: speak on video with an English speaker for free?
Good morning, I am looking to drastically improve my English. There are a multitude of sources that are well known but to progress you have to practice and I have seen that young people (boomer generation 😅) sometimes speak with English speakers for free by visi. Do you know these platforms? Any advice to help me improve my English is welcome. Thank you so much
What does my accent sound like?
I'm not a native and all my life i've been listening mostly to the american accents while learning the language. I guess i have a strong accent but i'm curious if it might remind you of some specific english-speaking country or state. I took a test on "voice image" website and it said i sounded 70% irish, i don't think it's reliable though https://voca.ro/16nHtM08Aed6
Does it sound like a native Spanish person?
