And as a long time English teacher, let me say - it is entirely possible to speak a language as your first language and not be fluent in the finer points of grammar, linguistics, syntax, spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation. I always got a chuckle out of hispanic students who thought taking Spanish would be an easy "A" - and then they tripped up on the grammar.
Though come to think of it, we have plenty of evidence of that here everyday at GC!
