So English is a great language to communicate with non-native English speakers, but not so much with native speakers, LOL.

Oh I know the feeling. When I was in the States I constantly got the feeling they were all annoyed with teh fact I had to pause to think of a word to say sometimes, and how the manner in which I spoke didn't really follow their usual patterns... not to mention my harsh slavic accent... everytime I opened my mouth I felt like dying. But it got a bit easier as time went by.
I agree it's much easier speaking to non-native English speakers. We're all in the same boat so to speak.
