Hi Subway,

I believe you have a good pronunciation and you can be easily understood, which is most important. Perhaps you do speak a little slowly but everyone has their own different personality and I don't see that is a problem. Overall your pronunciation is accurate and everyone can understand you.

Alan

Hi Subway,

I'll second Alan's comments, your pronunciation is good and very understandable. Whoever made the comment about "speaking like a drunk person" was being a bit unfair, in my opinion, and I wouldn't give their comment much credit. I suppose that they were commenting on the fact that you speak a little slowly, but as Alan said, not everybody speaks with the same speed. Indeed, it's preferable to speak a bit more slowly and easily be understood, then speak so fact nobody can understand what you say.
