already reached native-level proficiency in english , it's not hard if you use it on daily basis .
and most importantly use it in your head .
it makes it more natural.

For the record, I'm not just talking about speaking *correctly* (eg, good grammar, vocabulary and so on), but about sounding like a native too.
Like, I'm talking about having a flawless native accent in a second language, basically.

i always sucked at russian

Yeah, if you don't count my bakuvian accent, my russian is pretty perfect.

yeah but most native-speakers *sound* like native speakers.
That's what I'm referring to. I'm not talking about perfect eloquence or whatever

Op here.
I've been studying English for something like 7 years at this point, and I do think I'm pretty good at it in terms of being able to express myself and all that- but I still have residues of my foreign (italian) accent here and there when I speak.
And I've reached a point where I don't really know how to get better at that- like I don't even know what I could do about it.

Take Alicia Vikander for instance. How the FUCK did she get to speak English like that
