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"!

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