Well...first, your English is very clear and fluent. And when I listen to you speaking English, I can tell you've worked hard on learning American pronunciation. Second - I think there's nothing wrong at all with having some "color" from your native language in your English. Even among native speakers, their speech tells a lot about where they come from, both geographically and culturally. If you want to get closer to native speech and that's a priority, by all means, do it, but I'd also say "Don't stress about it." Also, you sound a lot more intelligent than a "Valley Girl!" Listening to you speaking, I can tell that English is not your mother tongue, but there's very little to tell me exactly where you're from; if I didn't already know, I would not think, "Ah, she's Russian!" But there are two things that quickly "give you away" as a non-native. The first is the cadence - the rhythm - of your speech. Part of it is the way you shorten certain syllables. An example is "project" - You lengthen the stressed "pro" and shorten "ject." But we'd generally maintain the length in "ject." This kind of shortening is what makes non-native speakers confuse "thirty" and "thirteen" -- they shorten the "teen" when its not accented. Listen to the rhythm The other is how you treat your final consonants. One example "Hot coffee" - Almost no Americans would release that "T" at the end of "hot." We'd pronounce the "t" but stop it in our throats (glottalized t). We'd say "Hoʔt coffee" Brits release the T. I'm not writing this to put you down, just perhaps to make some parts of our pronunciation a little more accessible. :)

Mimicking is the single best thing you can do. The thing that creates accents in the first place is reading words written with letters that you pronounce differently in your native language, so you end up creating bad habits from the beginning. Listen to how people speak first, THEN learn how to write and spell.

There are a lot of nitpickers on here. She's a work in progress. Did any of you complaining about her accent realize that she learned English with a British accent initially. I think she has done a great job transitioning from that accent and moving more towards an American accent. Plus this woman speaks what...four languages. I see nothing to complain about here. Here is another great American idiom some of you should practice. Don't hate, congratulate.

Cause when you do imply that you're basically perfect at something while you still have room to grow even if you're quite good at it, naturally people would be like... mmm no you're not. It's always better not to have really high expectations and be pleasantly surprised rather than expect too much and then be kinda disappointed. Especially after someone praised his own self.

@@emrebilgi Before Marina came to the US, she spent only 2-3 months in the UK in total. There's no way for anyone to have a British accent after 2-3 months. My guess is that she mispronounced "hot" in the way many Russians do: instead of /h/, she used Russian [x], which sounds like /kh/ to American ears, and then instead of British /ɒ/ (which is the *open* back rounded vowel), she used Russian "o" (which is the *mid* back rounded vowel), thus it sounded somewhat similar to "o" in "cold". In fact, she mentioned in another video that she did not open her mouth wide enough when she came to the US, and if you don't drop your jaw low enough, you can't produce the /ɒ/ sound.

I live and work in Silicon Valley as a Web Developer. I've moved to the US from Russia when I was a little girl and I still have just a slight accent left (barely noticeable). When I speak, everyone thinks I am an American, although I look like your typical pretty Russian girl. I can tell you that you haven't mastered your American accent. Had you moved to the US when you were 10 years old, sure, you would speak like an American. But I still hear thick Russian accent present in your speech. Other than that, good job on learning English and making it here.

The accent doesn't matter, hey, you can do things that native speakers cannot! Living abroad, having a visa + fluency and all the stuff like this is more impressive than just have no accent since these things are literally the challenge for so many people! This victory isn't like just be born and grow up in the USA, it is a much more complicated thing. Who was born in Russia, you know...You have choices within your country, but all the ways are wrong.

I'm Russian as well living in the United States and I can clearly hear your Russian accent. It's fine tho, we all have it and for most of us, it's practically impossible to get rid of it unless you take some accents reduction classes. You do speak a good english tho! Very clear, good grammar etc.
