I´ve learned English at an early age and I used to be mistaken for a native, since I made ´native´ mistakes. Native doesn´t mean perfect. It means you make common mistakes. Only after I studied English, instead of learning it naturally, my English became much better. So, yes I do think you can become perfect in Turkish, but to become perfect would mean years and years of practice. Also, you would have to spend some years in Turkey to fully understand some undertones in the language, and the double meaning of certain words.

A good first step is to watch Turkish tv a lot. You will hear spoken Turkish that is not as ´proper´ as you hear it on learning-tapes. Listen to stupid Youtube videos to hear how people speak. Sure, you have to dive into a lot of books and courses to train your skills in Turkish, but don´t forget the ´real world´ either!

 Your English is good enough. There is no need for criticizing you for the mistakes you make. After all, you built your part of the bridge to close the gap of communication with the lazy half of the world who cannot speak any other language than their own. With so many non-native people speaking English today, a new form of language called International English has come into existence. We can claim to be the native speakers of that language. 

 

International English was a dream for the first British merchants who had been sending English language newspapers abroad, now the dream has come true. English may have won the contest thanks to its simplicity. Now is the time to peek fun at non-native speakers. The web is full of examples.

So you are basically saying that to be able to teach a language you don´t have to be able to speak it properly??  Unsure  Just that you need to be ´better´ than someone who isn´t a teacher??
