well its not just about the correct pronunciation of words but there are other factors as well which differentiate a non native speaker from natives.for e.g britishers use a lot of aspirated sounds in their conversation but the urdu speakers do not use aspirated sounds, or to make it more simple, when a britisher is using a "h" sound he often use a bursting air pressure while pronouncing the sound of 'h" in any word starting with "h", but when a urdu speaker would pronounce a word starting with "h" he would simply pronounce a plain "h" sound without any breathy effect or the bursting air pressure effect.
