English is my mother tongue.
I have studied German for a few years, but am nowhere near fluent.
I can make myself understood to native Germans, but with much patience on their part, and difficulty on mine.
I am really having trouble with vowels, and I am working hard in the labs to improve my pronounciation, but I end up exaggerating, and it does not sound native.
What are the typical 'hallmarks' of an English accent in German, and how are they best eliminated?
I am especially having trouble with stressed and unstressed ö and ü.
Danke schön!
