Vocabulary

Natural: Native, native speaking, sounding like a native speaker when you talk.

Grammar

“So I want to improve my English to seem like native”; I am looking to improve my natural speech. / I want to improve my natural speech. / I want to speak naturally.

 “But actually”; When starting a new sentence you do not have to say “but” before “actually” you can just start with “actually”.

“The first questions is “; I think the big question is / I often wonder

” It depends the area”; “It depends on”
“whether or not you have a good job, it depends on your ability”

“His skin is yellow”; When talking about being a minority to native English speakers, just be aware that even though people do speak of themselves as colors (black, white, brown ) sometimes it can add tension to the conversation, especially if you are in America. I really like the phrase that you used very much, but if you ever feel the need to be more specific with a native English speaker who is ignorant, or does not know what “his skin is yellow” means, you can say “he is Chinese” or “he is Asian” and they will better understand.
