I know three people who, unlike me, not only had it as their first language, but who speak Irish and only Irish at home, watch TG4 (Irish language TV channel.), listen to Radio na Gael, and so on and so forth, and two of them are younger than me. I also know of a fellow fluent speaker who like me had it as his first, lost it a bit because of English, and picked it back up.

And yeah your English is better than that German pretending to know what he's saying. Just make sure to press the shift key at the start of each sentence and you're better than some English people at English.
