What does this mean? "Your x language will never quite convince a native"

It probably means that the way someone speaks a foreign language doesn't sound natural for a native speaker.

That reminds of a Russian Embassy spokesman who used to appear occasionally on British TV - he had an amazing intellect and his grasp of all the nuances of colloquial UK English was perfect. His replies were really well thought through and complicated but his accent was like a rubbish actor in a forties black and white spy film!

That is what I think is meant by "Your x language will never quite convince a native"!

I could argue some non natives write better than natives.

¡De acuerdo - tienes razón!

And those people don't get such comments, because they are actually convincing in the foreign language. ;)

íQue bien hablas el español! isn't a complement:D
¿De que pais eres? can be provided they don't guess France like I get sometimes.:lol:

COMPLEMENT means to add something improving; to offer polite praise is "Compliment".
