'Hablante nativo' is certainly a good way to say 'native speaker'. There are other ways to say the same thing, like 'nativo de habla hispana' or 'persona de habla hispana'.

You can use "hablante nativo", but for me it's better using "idioma materno"
"english native speaker" "persona cuyo idioma materno sea el inglés" "persona cuyo idioma materno/nativo/de nacimiento sea el inglés"
Saludos

There's really no direct translation.
Terms like "english native speaker forum" must be translated as "foro de personas con idioma materno inglés"
Thanks for your trust

Ok, thanks for the explaination sosia. BTW, in English it's "native English speaker" the native comes before enlgish. Just thought I'd let you know since I value your help.
