We Americans are not really any different. We are better at learning vocabulary than we are at learning pronunciation and intonation, for one simple reason... vocabulary is easier than pronunciation. Learning vocab is additive, you add new knowledge on top of what is already there. Pronunciation corrections are cumulative, in that getting better at pronunciation affects all the words you know.

It depends on whether you want to focus on American English or British English. For American English, The Queen's Gambit would be a good choice because the accents are mostly very mild, clear Midwestern American English. For British English, Fleabag has mostly London accents but a few regional accents as well.

"All that glitters is not gold" is an old fashioned phrase that doesn't follow modern patterns, so do not worry about struggling with it! What it really means is "some things that look like gold, are not really gold". It is a proverb about not blindly accepting the value of things.

It is correct! The second half is rhetorical. "...was he?" only reinforces the question, in a casual way. It can also imply the information you are talking about is not surprising. Here is an example: John: Robert was out drinking again last night. Steven: He was, was he? In this example Steven does not seem surprised. John might go on to tell Steven more about Robert's mischief. If Steven leaves that out, the meaning is the same but the implications are different: John: Robert was out drinking again last night. Steven: He was? This time, Steven seems surprised. John might therefore choose to explain that this is normal behavior for Robert instead of talking about this particular night.

Fast food shop & restaurant in USA

Hi, Nice to meet you. I’m Mami.

I moved from Japan to the United States I moved to the United States from Japan and it's been almost a month.

(In English, it is more natural to put the target of the sentence first!)

It is more common to eat out and buy hamburgers etc. than when I was living in Japan.

Sometimes, I have trouble entering a shop that has no image photos and only a text menu.

(You can leave out "image" here, because "photos" explains that.)

There were also shops where ingredients were lined up over the counter so that customers could see the material, but sometimes I was too short to see the ingredients.

("Ingredients" in a shop seems strange, unless the shop is for groceries. We don't call restaurants "shops" – "shops" can sell food ingredients or snack food, but not prepared meals. Similarly, the word "material" is not good for describing food! 

Finally, you can leave off the last "the ingredients" and leave the subject implied.)

My English conversation level is still low but I want to grow little by little.

(It's clear what you mean, but this is a foreign-sounding sentence. I suggest saying My English is not good yet but I want to grow little by little instead.)

And I want to try new tastes and be able to explain myself what I want to eat.

(I think what you mean is be able to order food by myself. Very good job on your notebook!)

Thanks again for everything. I wish you all the best.

Best regards,
