Is my accent understandable and do I sound gay and have a lisp?
I always get comments that I sound gay/twink and that I have a lisp so if you guys were to be honest is this true? I don't really care about these comments either so its all good to be blunt, I was just curious. Also as I lived in Los Angeles my whole life, is my english understandable? if you couldn't understand my accent im 16 years old and I'm asian american, specifically korean-american.

“Didn’t you go to the party last night?” Which response is correct ? Would it cause confusion if I only said “yes” or “no”?

Not conjugating 'To be'
In what cases I can dismiss the conjugation rules?
Pronouncing "uncomfortable" at normal speed in a sentence
I sometimes sound like I'm saying "unconfterble" or "uncomterble", rather than the one we hear all the time. I've always wondered why it's not pronounced as "un com for ta ble."
Is it correct?
Is it correct to say "The recipe serves 2-4 slices"? I mostly see "the recipe serves 1/2/3 people"
Is singular they correct?

Native Speakers- How hard is it to actually master English?
hi ! exactly what the title says. i want to know how hard it is to truly master English. I attempted my IELTS and got a fairly good score (band 8.0+) but i still struggle to grasp the language despite that. it's always been a dream to master a language and as i, as a student frequently participate in events that require the main medium of communication to be english ( MUNs, public speaking, workshops etc.) i do want to be able to fully grasp the scope of the language itself. any tips or words of advice i can take ?
Why is it possible to abridge "a" here?
I'm confused and thank you for explanation.
Do those sentences depend of the context?
I understand that the second sentence implies that the father die and thats why the action doesn't continue (by the meme of course). But native speakers automatically think like that or you would say that u need more context and so you think that the father did something and that's it? I'm trying to understand if the meaning by sentences like that (without the image of course) could be misinterpreted
laughing in English is strange to me
so, in my country (Brazil) we laugh using "kkkkkkkk" or "kakakakakak" etc, and the classic "hahahaha" that is used in english, in my mind sounds like a villain laugh, and this is so strange to me, just want to share this difference
