Polish y and Russian ы are pronounced the same. But I pronounce the Russian ы as и, because my teacher told me to not worry about it. But now that I'm learning polish on my own, I learned how to pronounce the y. So now when I speak polish, I always pronounce it. But when speaking Russian, I'm too used to saying и, even though I can say ы now. It's hard for me to adapt

Is your videos good for practicing listening? Or should I listen to content apart from language learning?

Any person with a first language that isn't English, but picked up English simply through media, knows that even after decades of consuming Media in English, they would still have a very obvious accent unless they make an effort to change it.
This is undisputable.

My German is pretty good and I try to sound as much like a German as I can. My accent was kind of neutral as far as I know. I learned German from the Germans and not in a school. I was stationed in Germany in the Army and had girlfriends who didn’t speak English, so I had to learn to speak it. I’m at an intermediate level. Germans I spoke to that didn’t know I was in the U.S. Army. Didn’t know I was an American. None could guess I was American. They knew I wasn’t German but couldn’t place me. My X girlfriend’s sister told me that I didn’t have an accent, so I figured it was my grammar, I know I don’t say every word correctly without accent. But I try. I’m working on it now and I want to get to a C1 level in German by the end of the year. I intend to start studying Italian for about six months before I go to Italy next year. I know this will be a bit daunting, but I am hoping for an A1/A2 Level by the time I visit. My strategy for this is everyday practice with basic phrases and pronunciation as well as much immersion as I can, the grammar is in the phrases already. It’s how I learned German.

I always found listening to people who natively speak my target language speak english (my native language) helps me with accent acquisition

Hahaha you broke my heart at the end... Monotonous 😢

I think that the lmportance of pronouncing the vowels correctly versus pronouncing the consonants correctly is different between different languages. In hebrew we will understand different pronunciations of the same consonants and it will be difficult for us to understand a different vowel pronunciation. But in spoken arabic dialects the vowel can be pronounced differently, for example you can say souccar for sugar in one place and siccar in another place, and different speakers will pronounce differently the i vowel and the u vowel, but if you will replace ر with غ or ح with خ it will be difficult to understand you.

Segmentals and supra-segmentals.

As a english learner it is difficult to say pronounci

When I was studying Russian in Russia, one of my teachers told me my accent in Russian needed more work, but my intonation was spot on. I had never heard about that distinction before. My pronunciation still isn‘t great but I‘m proud I can imitate what I call the “Russian whine” - to the amusement of my Russian friends.😂

Based on what you said about audio processing while reading, do you worry that reading too much too soon will solidify bad / mistaken pronunciation habits?

Your voice sounds very similar to the game character Hosea from Red Dead Redemption 2😅

It is ironic how your saying of pronunciation is mispronounced throughout 🥸 I do enjoy and appreciate your great content though thank you

Who can help

Learning pronunciation is my favourite part of learning a language. I see a lot of people talking about pronunciation as a secondary (and sometimes unimportant) thing, which it obviously isn't, it's part of a language like grammar, vocab, etc. As Sharpe and Haydn say: "Speaking with an accent is a skill just like any other".
