Hello everybody!

I would like to know what it means when native English speakers say that I don't have any specific accent when I speak English, I sound neutral and they can't guess what my native language is. They say I sound neither American, nor British. They also say that my English is clear and understandable.
Is it considered to be good or not?

If they say your English is clear and understandable, that is clearly a good thing.

I agree with Barb. It's a good thing that you are considered neutral. It will work very well with any speaking gigs you may have :)
