—Oh, you sounded just like a native.
______. I still have trouble expressing myself.
A. Well, not quite
B. I'm glad you like it
I choose B, since it is often used to reply to a praise.
Am I right?
Plus: should I replace the underlined "sounded" with "sound"?

Thanks!
Jason

Only A is correct. B is not a natural response to the question.

"So I'm glad you like it " is used in the situations where you offer some food, dinner etc.
---That's a wonderful supper.
---I'm glad you like it.

Am I right?

Plus, sounded here means a past event, doesn't it?

Thanks again for more detail.

Jason
