I can't improve my English accent, I work hard but it doesnt work
I have a taxi company and everytime I have an English client or American client I hear

"ooooh your accent you're so French".........

It is the polite way to say that I speak English like a Spanish cow...

I think I have a good vocabulary and I can have conversations with the clients but there is still this accent...!

Try singing in your private time.american songs you like.
At times it is easier to sing in a dif language before speaking it.


Sounds odd lol but it worked for me.

Own that unique accent. It’s yours. If it goes it goes, if it stays it stays.

Why bother. You know the words and accents are cool except for New England assholes and New Jersey. I would not look down upon you at all if in contact. If anything I look at it as a sign of intelligence and determination that you know two languages.

No no, I talk to them normally, they answer, sometimes I walk with them in the street to guide them to explain historical things about monuments, about places, but there is always this thing about the accent, it makes me feel like I am some person who is not equal to them, with the way they say it.
I am French I am white I am not some Arab or middle eastern person so there is no racism

I have employees and I also worked.
I used to just stay at home to manage all this but after 4 years I became crazy, I did nothing I was arguing with my wife all the time, I have bought all kind of stupid things on internet... Not very productive.. So I decided to go to work with my employees at least I feel useful and I do something every day!
