Using «Often» (60%):

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

      «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.
