<p>lazie,</p>
<p>a lot of speakers choose to take it as an elective…and you’d also be surprised. Language is probably EASIER for a non native (as far as everything but speaking goes)…because we have learned all of the annoying little rules, while they pretty much have been taught by the spoken tongue…Most can’t spell, and some can’t even recognize words when reading…it really depends.</p>
<p>Anyway, I love the native speakers in my class. They’re soooo much fun and having a variety of accents and inputs DEFINITELY helps.</p>
