Judge my British accent
Good day everyone,
This is my first post on English Forums so please forgive me if I make any mistakes or mispronounce any word in the Wikipedia article on Calculus that I am going to record.
Now that you have listened to it can you please be so kind to answer the following questions (I apologize if the recording might have been of a low quality or made any popping noises.) :
1) How far away am I from a natural British Accent and what is the main difference between my accent and the received pronunciation accent.
2) Try to guess my region by listening to my accent, no cheating by looking at my profile please.
3) Even if my Received Pronunciation accent incorrect would you say I pronounce the words correctly and eloquently as I would only regard myself as an intermediate English speaker.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my post, I really appreciate it.

While it is obvious that you are not a native English speaker, to me as a British English speaker, your pronunciation in the recording is generally good to very good, easy to understand, and I would say even pleasant to listen to. It is very recognisably a British-flavoured accent, such as would be spoken by educated people in the south of England, as opposed to an accent from some other English-speaking country or region. It is hard to find any actual mistakes in your recording.

- One thing I would point out, though, is that in several places your "th" is weak, tending towards "f" or "d".
- For example, you say "mafematical" and "oder" rather than "mathematical" and "other".
