Wow, I'm impressed, sunshine. I cannot imagine who thinks you have a heavy accent, unless they mean a heavy American accent. The only anomaly I noticed was the unusual strength of some of your unstressed 'e's. They should be /i/ not /i:/.

This is very good English. Someone might think you were an American. I notice a few miscues in pronunciation here and there, but even native Americans do this at times. As for where you're from, I would guess Europe, rather than Asia or Latin America. As for the country, I would guess Germany or Russia, because you pronounce the word "of" as "oof" at times, which is a characteristic of German

Welcome to EnglishForward, sunshine ken.
You have a mostly North American accent, though I would guess you are originally from somewhere else. There are a few places where your accent sounds a little non-native, but it's certainly not a heavy accent. There are a few words you mispronounced; enough to make one think that your English isn't quite as good as your accent would suggest, although

You have a heavy American accent. It's not clear from your pronunciation, where in the world you're from.

Now I understand what it means. Thanks everybody for your feedback.

I come originally from Fiji but I self-taught myself English since I was a kid and used to watch lots of Disney movies and cartoons like sponge bob and etc but the usage of the language/grammar isn't perfect yet and people often figure out but I'm working on it
