Saying "English isn't my native language" is a far cry from "no speaka de English". They are about as close to each other as your spelling and grammar are to "me never laernet to rite de enklish propely". (FYI: In the above sentence "After you used [..] supporting that arguement" alone I counted at least seven errors.)
