Being born in a non-English speaking country, it does apply to me to an extent. Even if I was exposed to English from an early age, I sometimes falter when trying to communicate with another person thru Skype. I tend to say things which are interpreted inaccurately because I sometimes need to think about the word in Spanish and translate it.
Even still, Puerto Rico does have English as a mandatory class in every school. So thanks to that and the exposure to the English language helped me to be more receptive and adapt to a conversation. Even though I've been told several times that I'm fluent in English, I got a bit rusty as of late.
