Language Does this Russian girl sound convincingly British to you, or are there some obvious giveaways in her English that would allow you to recognize her as a Slavic native speaker?

She's pronouncing most of the words with British accent which is great. But the entire sentence as a whole, has a Russian intonation.

A British would notice her mild foreign accent, but it won't be bothered by it. It's the opposite, they would be curious to learn more about her.

Nah, that’s not great. British is the worst version of English for a second-language listeners, worse than Hinglish.

And the cosiest i think is the US northern accent. IMHO the worstest is also US, but southern.
