I don't think having a native accent counts towards fluency. I have a friend who meets the definition of a hyperpolyglot. He speaks all of his languages with a received pronunciation English accent.
Yet he can perfectly well explain how the Japanese alphabet works in Welsh, which is his seventh language. Some people are very very good mimics. One of our professional mimics in the UK has had a lot of publicity for fooling a leading politician that she was speaking to a senior colleague recently. I don't think it is necessarily connected to actual grammar and vocabulary learning ability. 1 person has voted this message useful |
