The reality that a Norwegian's English might be better than someone from a country where English is the native language is a hurdle that may be difficult to clear without an inside connection.
I see you point, but that dosent mean that I'm a bad english teacher when I get my degree? I dont know how it works in other countries, but in Norway we learn english (it's almost just as important as norwegian) from the first day we set foot in school until the very end. So I'm fluid. (Mabye some grammar errors) And just because you are a native speaker, dosent make you a great english teacher. Does it? Dont misunderstand me, im not being disrespectful, I just love a great discussion
