my people have the worst accent, look up any video of mika häkkinen talking…
it’s not impossible to learn proper pronunciation even though it seems impossible at first. I found it to be helpful to find a video of how to pronounce any word that contains the part you can’t pronounce, just keep trying to make a similar sound. it will take some trying, maybe weeks even, but then again there aren’t that many problem spots. usually r, thr, rd…just make sure nobody is around to hear it, they’ll think you’re having a stroke.
when you have a bit of a handle on it, take an episode of some english spoken tv show (something a bit adhd like modern family, brooklyn 99, IASIP), enable subtitles, then listen to their lines carefully, pause and repeat it yourself. try to sound as much as them as you can, maybe repeat a problematic sentence a few times and just move on to the next. by season 5 you will be quite good at it. read some articles aloud and use tv shows to “calibrate” 😂

I mean I can speak perfectly alright and understandably. I just cannot do it for extended periods of time.
