What does a "native speaker" mean?
I'm a bit confused on what to put on my profile. I've been speaking English my whole life, but I'm not entirely sure if I should call myself a native speaker since the official language in my country is Filipino. Most of the people here are bilingual though.

Question

Answer

If you have spoken English in your home since childhood - you are a native speaker.
If you spoke 2 languages in your home since childhood - you are bilingual (and I envy you).

Answer

Answer

Isn't English also the official language in your country?
