I'm Dutch, born, raised, and still living here :) I'm just good with languages (and numbers, apparently).
While my English grammar may be better, my Dutch grammar is probably still above average. I just notice that the more I write in English, the more I have to think about my Dutch :) Of course, and this goes for any language I write in, I write 99% on instinct, and my instinct is rather accurate.
Funnily enough the most problems I have with English, is keeping BE and AE apart. Some times words and expressions slip into my BE, that turn out to be AE.
