That's the point !!! despite _ knowing the grammar you may still sound wierd if you're a nonnative speaker, because you still think in your native language. The grammar itselф doesn't guarantee _ perfect skills in a language.

Do native speakers themselves make such mistakes? How often?

I'll try to explain why I ask. I've long since surrendered myself to the fact that proper article usage would forever remain a mystery I'd fail to comprehend.

I've found a solution - reading a lot of texts written by people who speak_ good English will improve my understanding.
Speaking of which - a good source would be texts containing 'perfect English' preferably of modern everyday speaking style rich with modern idioms, with extended vocabulary and with some part of direct speech.

What would you recommend me to read, considering the above?
