i noticed that but it's not unlikely to find foreigners who speak english really well without having ever been to an english-speaking country
esp ppl who frequent the internet
i know a ton of ppl online from the balkans and nordic countries that have lived there their entire lives and although accented their english is as good as anfisa's
