Take a course in phonetics, as an English native you’ll definitely need it to more easily learn how to make all the speech sounds in German

I am Dutch yeah, but I learnt German in high school. Luckily, I’m pretty good at speaking foreign languages without a very noticeable Dutch accent, which is partly just something I have a knack for, but I also started studying phonetics quite young. This made it easier for me to imitate the correct sounds instead of my native sounds, which sound similar, but are slightly different, because I knew exactly where and how to pronounce them in the mouth

Same. I use IPA etc and read mouth diagrams and read where the place of articulation must be. My dissertation for university regarded phonetics and sound symbolism.

I try and overhear my buddy's conversations whenever it's in Polish because I always want to know if the people he's talking to are saying something about me.
