Hello. It's been a while since I practise my English last time. And I’m afraid my accent is getting worse so I want to improve it. Would appreciate your help.

This is not the best text to judge you on, Otti76. Because it's the lyric to a song, it means you're reading it in a funny way. I don't think you normally speak like that.

Try reading something that isn't a song lyric, or better yet, just try speaking naturally and unplanned. Tell us what you can see from your window or something like that.

To me you sound British, but with Ireland's stronger R's.

You do not sound Ukrainian. Or American.
