One of the worst cultural traits about the British is that they will never give you an honest or useful opinion about your accent because they are scared of offending you. To find out the truth about your accent and overall speaking style, you will need to get an expert opinion. Otherwise, you will only ever hear from your British friends and colleagues that your accent is 'good' --> which unfortunately for you, might be a polite lie.
Before you start a pronunciation training course, it's good to know the level you are starting from. This is so you can measure your progress.
The well-known English exams like IELTS and TOEFL include unreliable accent tests that are mostly useless.
You are not able to observe your own flaws and weaknesses due to blindspots. My professional, trained eye will quickly notice issues that need improving.
I will hone in on your mistakes... but not as harshly as you criticise yourself.. and not as coldly as the eagle below:
Why Jade Joddle is the right teacher to assess your accent and speaking...
"I have been working with students from all over the world, training their accents and correcting their mistakes for over 8 years. This has given me a lot of experience in close listening, which is the ability to concentrate on small accent features that most people can't hear or notice in speech. In your accent assessment, I combine technical information about your speech with a zoomed out view of the impression that you make on me as a listener. I highly recommend this test to students who are committed to the goal of speaking well in English." -- Jade Joddle
