Prosody is your bottleneck. Your individual sounds are landing, but your sentences stay flat — English listeners use stress to find the important word, and yours is not moving. This is worth more to you right now than any grammar work.
Your weakest sounds this week
/ɹ/R–L distinction · 38%Native listeners mishear roughly one word in six. Your tongue tip stays down and your lips round — English /ɹ/ wants the tongue bunched back and the lips relaxed.Drill
əˑVowel epenthesis · 41%You add a vowel after final consonants and inside clusters — "desk" becomes "desuku". Japanese has no consonant clusters, so one gets inserted automatically.Drill
ˈ◆Sentence stress · 44%Your sentences stay flat. English listeners use stress to find the important word, and yours is not moving — this is what makes an accent sound foreign more than any single sound.Drill
