I wonder if native English speakers know this: that many non-native speakers around the world have to learn English even if they don't want to, and have to speak it even when they'd rather not.

To a (much) lesser extent I feel similarly about my native dialect vs the nation's standard and dominant dialect. I can pass as a reasonably good speaker of the latter, but there is always a certain level of effort involved. And I feel like the effort is not well appreciated.
