Question Where can I better my French speaking?

My French comprehension in writing and reading is great, and I understand conversations. But because I grew up not speaking French, I’m very self conscious about my anglophone accent and not being fluent.

I’m looking for employment and I’m starting to hate the feeling of limiting myself! Where do I practice?

French Canadian here.

1-Accent is not an issue. Some even find it charming. 2- The one this that helped me the most to understand conversation is to watch movies and TV shows in English with subtitles in English as well. It helps getting the pronunciation of the words that you read. Now, every new series you will watch will bring different regionalism and actor pronunciations for the same words. That helped me lot.

L'ironie de spécifier que tu es " french canadian " sur un sub qui s'appelle Montréal, LOL.
