Hm. Am I a native speaker. I don't know. I was born in Vancouver. Promptly
went to Hungary. Came back age 4 speaking only Hungarian and a few Russian
songs...stayed till 6, learned English in that time. Went back to Hungary
for a year, back to Canada for 3, to Yugoslavia for a year, back to Canada
for good.
