The hardest part about the accent is some words sound one way in my head but come out of my mouth differently. For instance: In my head I know "pin" and "pen" should sound different but out of my mouth both sound the exact same.
IDT anyone can spell how you say "oil." There're just no phonetics that I know of. Ol and Ohhl just don't quite catch the word as pronounced. But if you hold your tongue way back in your mouth and say "owl" you might be close.
