Of the people on JF? They're either Japanese born and bred or they've lived in Japan for ages and/or married Japanese nationals (and sometimes had Japanese speaking kids). That pretty much cinches it. There's no real way to 'learn' fluency in ANY language. You 'learn' up to a high-functioning version of the language. Then you absorb native-fluency by sheer use, practice and exposure. If you're lucky. Lots of people don't.
