I work with a lot of engineers where English is a second language and Ive been asked if their English has improved (those I'm close to anyway) two pieces of advice based on their feed back :
1) there is a difference between speaking English well and having an accent. There's nothing wrong with an accent.
2) some languages "speak" at a faster rate- slow down a bit. Speaking slower doesn't equate with being stupid or less than, if anything it shows you are thoughtful in how you speak.
3) your English is better than my own, this post is a prime example.
