By that same logic (of what your teacher said), my first language should be Farsi (that's the language my parents spoke)- but it really isn't. I can read, speak and write Farsi, but not as well as English.
It always struck me how I used to get complimented more for my proficiency in English, more than my 'white' peers... I guess it comes from the same place (only expressed differently) as your teacher's... and I am not sure how I feel about that. Haha.
