One other point is that non-native English speakers will not have a native English speaking accent. So no matter how good your English is, you still wont sound like a native English speaker.

The same with me trying to speak Japanese. Even though I can say sentences that are grammatically correct in Japanese, native Japanese can tell I am a foreigner just by my sounds.
