Re: What's something people compliment you on...

[soldatsasha]

People compliment my accent sometimes. Mostly I find it frustrating because obviously if I have a noticeable accent I've failed at sounding fluent/native, and not being able to sound American means lots of people have a very hard time understanding me and I have a hard time understanding them. And it gets REALLY bad when I'm dealing with other ESL people and we're talking at eachother and not understanding each other at all.

Also it just kind of pours salt in an old wound, that I don't speak either language very well. People ask, you know, "how do you say whatever in your language? :D" and it's really embarrassing to say that I don't really know the word for that, or I'm not sure if my grammar is right.

Speaking english without a north american accent or with non-american vocabulary does not mean you speak it poorly!!!!!
You write english very well, I'd guess you also speak english very well. Please don't think people noticing your accent means you're not fluent, that's literally crazy talk.
I'm not trying to minimize your frustration with being understood, because I know that's real. Just remember that half my family lives in Australia and I can't understand them either :)
