Using «Often» (60%):

Place often between the subject and the verb in questions to ask about habits.

    1. You have very clear ideas, but we need to refine the grammar for your «Do» question and make sure we include the final requirement about being fluent in a third language.

      «Does» question (Community): ✅ (Perfect!).

      «Often» and «Accent»: ✅ (Excellent sentence structure!).

      «Mother tongue»: ✅ (Very specific and clear).

      «Fluent» (Third language): ❌ This question is missing from your list.

    1. This is a fantastic set of questions! You have successfully adapted the survey for a specific situation—an international student studying in Russia. Your grammar is spot on, and your use of the required vocabulary is very natural.

      «Do» question (Bilingual): ✅ «Do you consider yourself…» is a very professional way to ask this.

      «Does» question (Community): ✅ «Does your community…» correctly uses the singular helping verb.

      «Often» and «Accent»: ✅ «How often do people comment on your accent…» is a perfectly structured sentence.
