Type 'How to speak English' into YouTube and you'll get absolute deluged with insanely complicated diagrams and flowcharts about stress-timing and vowel reduction -- so many rules that non-native speakers practice and explicitly learn but that you didn't even realize existed. Stress-timing alone must be really tricky coming from a language without it.
Random example: How do you pronounce the word 'for' 80% of the time? Like the word 'her' with an f. fer.
