Russia and I spent 25 years of my life in Russia just recently moved to the United States and I'm still working on my American accent.

A very interesting thing that two years ago I had a British accent.
两年前有一件非常有趣的事情：我竟然带着英国口音说话！
So I will try to mimic both accents in this video and we'll see the differences.

If you're not a native English speaker, I'm going to tell you a very interesting story.
如果你不是英语母语者，那我有一个非常有趣的故事要告诉你。
When I was 14 and my English I was intermediate,
我14岁的时候，英语水平处于中级水平。
I was in the UK with my
我和我的家人当时在英国。
friend who was from Great Britain and we were standing by London Eye and suddenly she turns her head and says,
我的一位来自英国的朋友，当时我们正站在伦敦眼（London Eye）旁边。突然，她转过头来说……
oh my god, those Americans, what's with Americans?
哦，我的天啊，那些美国人……美国人都是怎么回事啊？
And she says, can you hear their accent is so different?
她说：“你能听出来他们的口音有多么不同吗？
And I'm like, I couldn't hear it, but I was like, yes, I can.
我当时心想：“我本来听不见那个声音的，但现在我居然能听到了……
But I couldn't hear it.
但我听不到那个声音。
The thing is, I was able to tell the difference between different accents just when I reached the advanced level.
事实上，直到我达到高级水平时，我才真正能够分辨出各种不同口音之间的差异。
Before that, I was listening to a lot of British singers.
在那之前，我经常听很多英国歌手的歌。
I am a big fan and when I listened to her songs, I started hearing those when you kind of minimize the T sound.
我是她的超级粉丝；当我听她的歌时，我发现只要稍微弱化其中的“T”音，这些歌曲听起来就会更好听一些。
It's a little less, just somewhere in your throat.
感觉稍微轻一些了，只是停留在喉咙的某个部位而已。
Then I started listening to Kate Nash and I started to notice the way she pronounces FITA.
后来我开始听凯特·纳什（Kate Nash）的歌，渐渐注意到了她发音“FITA”的方式。
And I started to realize this is a British thing.
我开始意识到，这其实是英国特有的现象。
So I would say by the age of 17, during my third trip to the UK,
所以我想说，在我 17 岁的时候，也就是我第三次去英国的时候……
I became proficient in defining the accents and it became so proficient that I was sitting with my friend watching an American movie and I said,
我逐渐掌握了如何准确识别各种口音的技巧；这种能力已经非常娴熟了。有一次，我和朋友一起看一部美国电影时，我就这样说道：
why don't they translate American English into British because I cannot get a thing?
他们为什么不把美式英语翻译成英式英语呢？我完全听不懂啊！
I'm so used to British accent.
我已经非常习惯英国口音了。
That was super funny.
那真的太搞笑了。
The thing is, if you are intermediate, don't really worry about not understanding accents.
其实，如果你处于中级水平，不必太担心自己听不懂某些口音的问题。
That's fine.
没关系。
