English term or phrase: native or native-like
a native or native-like command of English
devo tradurre questa espressione tra parentesi dopo l'inglese. pensavo a "padronanza della lingua a livello nativo o ad esso paragonabile".
Vi viene in mente qualcosa di meglio o esiste un termine specifico di livello di competenza?

Stesso problema per "native-like fluency” (scioltezza paragonabile a quella di un nativo?)

Grazie!

Explanation:
non è proprio la stessa cosa, ma non ho mai visto "nativo" o simili usati in questa accezione in italiano, quindi propenderei per un espressione di significato equivalente piuttosto che una traduzione letterale
