A question to anyone currently learning a language!?
Have you ever notice that it's harder to understand a native speaker of the language you're learning than it is to understand a non-native speaker speaking the same language? I was watching a French talk show once and I could barely understand the interviewer, but his guest (who was English and speaking French) I could understand with little difficulty. They both were speaking at the same speed and pronouncing words the same, but the sentence structure of the non-native speaker just seemed easier to follow than the native speaker.
Why do you think this is?

in my opinion, the native speaker has lived in his hometown for a long period and is familiar with the people there, so when speaking, he will feel free. on the contrary, when the non-natives speaking, they will think about many conditions, such as: if the grammer is wrong, pronounciation is not proper, others will not understand him.
these are what i have been thinking.
it's a good question!
