Compare your English accent to people living in Nepal. You will for sure feel the difference and more or less we have acquired some English accent living here. If you compare, that should give you some idea as to how good/bad your accent is.

Most of us came here in our 20s so it is almost impossible for us to acquire 100% American way of speaking. We may improve a lot but we will never be on the level of native speakers.

Everything adds up …some people went to schools that stressed on the importance of talking in English while some grew up building their language skills in various ways.

Because of our cultural values and upbringing, it is common for Nepalese to be talking in low voice as well as not making direct eye contact when talking. Our respect for others can sometimes be misunderstood by westerners and deemed lacking confidence. I know how you feel about “what” situation.
