I mean if you are at the B2 level your English skills are probably better than most Americans on this site.

You really underestimate the complexity of language learning.
At B2 level you know 3k words (most of them prepositions, auxiliary verbs and A level vocab). C1 level requires 8+k vocab, so it takes 2x more effort to reach C1 than the whole A1-B2 journey.
Even non-educated native speakers know at least 6k words and speak without an accent, unless he's from the south

Interesting, never even knew there were levels like that.

My wife learned from subtitles and watching shows like how I met your mother. You might try that or play a game and set your server to the US and make a few friends and talk some shit

I've been watching YouTube in English more than 2 years and It helps with listening and a bit with vocab, but you still need practicing in speaking and pronunciation.
And even AI tools still don't help a lot.

Yeah. To my knowledge everyone has an accent. You’ll just have to pick the one that you want to mimic. Find a group that you can join on discord or mic and just chat. For example: find some people running Baal 24/7 and just talk. That would be the closest to full immersion that you could do without actually going to the location And living there.


Newscasters are known to have the most “white” accents.

You might try recording yourself and repeating what your local news anchor is saying.

Did you buy anyone to communicate with you so far?
