I understand TOEFLs are very important for non native speakers who would like to work in the States or Great Britain and so on. Well I was born in Austin, Texas and I lived there for 7 years, and until this day I think in English and I am very comfortable with English. I wanted to take part in the Cambridge test in Switzerland but my teacher said it wouldn't be necessary for me because English is practically my first language. But I don't look like somebody who has English as theor first language and my name doesn't sound english either, would it bring problems for me if I don't take such a test?
