¿Esto suena natural? "He told me 'jealous' is more commonly used than 'envy' in conversation. So I used it because I wanted my English to be looked natrual, but she looked embarrased about what I said. It might have been my tone which made the situation awkward."

Sorry for the long sentences.
I put some more trying to make it understandable, but it might cause more errors in this question.

“I wanted my English to sound natural”.
You should replace “to be looked natural” with “sound natural”.

The only thing that doesn't sound natural is 'I wanted my English to be looked natural'. It would sound better as 'I wanted my English to sound natural'
