Well, I don't know how it was for you in Arabic or a South African language, but in my experience, people learning another language are and have to be more conscious of grammar rules: if a native speaker breaks them, s/he may have a sense that it will still be understood, but if I do it, the result can be unintelligible. And as good as I am in English, that happens to me several times -- say, I have particularly bad memories of trying to shuffle sentences right in the translation in my Mood for Reforms diary...
