9:37 - Totally correct. I have a Dutch friend in which when they say a Dutch word or name and I repeat it back, I pronounce it perfect and I'm the only that does. I speak a tonal language in Cantonese so that gives an advantage in pronunciation as it places emphasis on that vs non-tonal based languages. That said, I work with people from many cultures who speak English perfectly, but with an accent from where they are from. You have a mixed German/Midwest accent I've noticed. Some words you speak in English in a Midwest accent (e.g. the rhoticity of your 'R' sounds) while others have that classic back-of-the-throat 'sharp' German pronunciation e.g. when you say 'to be'. Your 'o' sounds switch between both depending on word too! e.g the open 'o' in 'or' is very open sounding like a Midwest accent, while the closed 'o' when you say 'lose' is quite German.
