How many of you are non-native English speakers? (lemmy.ml)

Everyone seems so good at English so I wondered how many people learned it to such proficiency and how many are just natives

English is my secondary language, but I've always been drawn to it. I live in Denmark and we don't dub TV shows, but subtitle them instead. Also I started reading novels in English at a young age, so that has surely helped.

I am a native English speaker but live in Denmark and so many people here are so proficient in English. It's super impressive to me!
