Comma gets a cure (my accent)

I'm not a native speaker, but a student of English Studies and I think you sound really great. I don't get only why you seemed to read words separately than the whole sentences.
So where are you from? ;>

I am a Canto speaker.....i studied english for around 6 years...but i just wanna see how i sound kinda different from natives XD
So I'm very curious what a native would say:)
I think you sound great especially after 6 years of learning.

Your pronunciation of the seperate phonemes seems flawless to me, except for the diphthong in "mouth". But that could still pass for Canadian Raising. Or was it supposed to be the "goat" vowel? Could be either of them. They're not that different, anyway.

As for the rhythm: It sounds stagnant and unnatural but not necessarily foreign to me. Especially not because you were reading.
For me, it's the pronunciation of certain words that gives you away as a non-native speaker because you used the wrong phonemes or the wrong stress in those cases. But fortunately, that's the easiest thing to get rid of.

Your comment is very constructive and supportive. It gives directions in terms of what I have to improve... the "mouth thing"....yeah I get lazy when I say words with vowels that need your mouth to move a bit more...I also think my rhythm is kinda awkward...but it's the best i can do...since I am not that familiar with English. I stumble a bit when I speak. My first priority is the oral part. So yeah... thanks for your comment
