Funny story about the language ability. I had a German-native friend in college. He had moved to America 1 month prior and never lived in an English speaking country. He had a perfect English accent and was overall better than some of my native born friends. I thought he was making it up. As an American I honestly can’t comprehend it, it’s like someone doing a double backflip and earnestly thinking it’s normal. And very bashful about his incredible language ability!
Recently I met a Dutch-native person traveling in the US for a week. He had a flawless Southern Californian accent, my friends and I didn’t believe him, thought he was Californian. His language skills were literally better than most Americans.
I can say the same about many India-natives I’ve worked with as well. Not just language but communication skills in general. The different accents are gorgeous.
I think non-American education is generally superior.
