here’s a little example of my spontaneous speech

Your AmE accent is very good indeed @lavv3nder. In my opinion very few people would suspect that you are not a native speaker. The one tiny thing I noticed was that the second vowel sound in "below" was pronounced as a diphthong. Try to make it a pure o sound with no trace of a w after the o.

Can somebody tell me what's being said at 00:27 in the recording? I can't make out the word(s) in square brackets.

Also, I've been really struggling with [...] lately and, well, I hope I fixed it.

That’s “prosody”, it’s like the intonation of different words in a sentence.

@lavv3nder:

Our goal here at UE is to teach standard English that our learners can use in any context. So please avoid chatlish forms such as gonna.
