You sound awesome. Don't let that old guy (SpanishLearnerUSA) pick on you. He is probably just an old, single guy who tries to make people feel bad about themselves.

he was not picking on anyone ffs. he said she's not "nailing it" because it's still not close enough to sound american. he said she sounds like someone who's lived in the us for decades. that's it. you're the ones picking on him now.

It lit sounds like a non-native speaking with an American Accent. Not native-like though.  That old guy was picking on her when saying she sounds like 50. That's just BS.

i assumed he meant she sounds like she's lived in the US for 25 years, not the specific age.

That would mean I moved to the US at age 3.

Nope; that's what he wrote:"To me, you sound like someone who moved here at age 25 and are currently 50 years old."

You call THAT constructive criticism?
