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 technically my fourth language and I started learning it at age 12. However I really got good around age 16 when I started watching a lot of Hollywood movies with subtitles. Even now when I speak fluent English, with dare I say some "elegance", i prefer my movies with subtitles, because it's just a happy place in my mind.
