Did I miss something?

I just recently discovered the text boards and /lang/ has quickly become my favorite. I see a lot of things that say Amerifags can't pronounce anything right. Have I missed something or are there Americans that can pass off as natives? I myself am taking German and though I don't know a whole lot of German, my Berlin-native teacher has commented several times that my pronounciation is either on par or very close to a native German's. Am I special or is it just poking at retard Americans?

Is the first "Zwölf Bucks can't verjagen fickt der quer über den grossen Sylteteich"?
The second is way better, but you should practice the Umlaute and the sch instead of just leaving them out.
I think it's nowhere near native, but you can definitely get there.
