This is a great video! The tips apply not only to Russian, but to any foreign language. Listening and immediately repeating (aka shadowing) is a great way to improve your accent.
I started learning Russian 2 months ago and most of the time my language exchange partners said my pronunciations were clear and Russians would have no problems understanding what i said. I didn't ask them how my accent was though. So the way I practise my pronunciation is to speak it out loud whenever I watch learning videos and using learning apps e.g. Memrise, Busuu and LingQ. So far I like Memrise the most as it contains video for every sentence so you look at people's mouth when they speak. This is especially useful when it comes to some difficult pronunciations. Other than that, I also listen to Russian music everyday which was the reason that got me into learning Russian)) Before started learning the language I've listened to Russian music for half a year, not every single day but still I think this gave me the opportunity to be familiar with the sounds and pronunciations of Russian. And recently since I've discovered lots of songs that I like I started looking at the lyrics while listening and singing along with it. It definitely help with my pronunciation and accent in an effortless and enjoyable way. Plus, not mentioning you get to see some most common words each time. Спасибо за видео, Ари.)

In English when im speaking the phrases that im used to speaking in daily basis, my pronunciation is drop dead perfect, but when im trying to pronounce the words, phrases that i've never heard or practice d before, my accent sucks indeed 😅
Not everything. It mainly depends on - background noise - if I've heard the person speak before (takes a while to get used to a new person's accent) - difficulty of vocabulary But in general I understand most of what people say. At least enough to understand them!
Actually What Languages do you know, dude? especially english, how did you mastered that? In general i understand absolutely everything when im watching, listening english, but im not well at speaking. Btw im russian native speaker, but i am not russian, can you guess? How why? 😅
Dutch and English well. Russian pretty good. And superbasic German and Spanish. Most Dutch people speak English well, as it's close to the Dutch language - and we watch English movies in their original sound from childhood, just with Dutch subs. Thanks for watching :)
@@pereskazmovies You can be Ukrainian, or from Baltic states as many ethnic Russians live there. Also many Russian families live in Central Asian Countries. So you could be from anywhere. Hard to guess.
