My best friend did this… and it was freakin' hard. Fortunately for him, his father spoke the language, so he worked with him. I can't even imagine doing it without having someone there to help out with the accent and pronunciation.

I'd focus too much on the words and throw all the other aspects ou' the windeh. Native speakers are superior.

Yes and it was extremely challenging. Language is cultural, so not only do u have to consider the actual language but the gestures, facial expressions and the ways the people from that culture behave.
