Is this text from a native English speaker?
I am an English speaker looking to learn Hungarian, and would love to practice with you sometime :) My boyfriend's family speaks Hungarian, so I am looking to practice the little I know, as well as learn more, so I can speak with them. I am also happy to help you improve your English, if you are looking to practice speaking or writing. Let me know if you would like to chat on Skype sometime!

Maybe not a native speaker. My guess.

It certainly seems to be! Not even a tiny error and very natural. I could have written it myself (except for the boyfriend lol)

Lots of comma splices. I'm going to say not a native speaker.

I think it's probably a native speaker.
The English is fine - including the phrase 'the little I know'. But it's not just a question of there being no errors. The whole text reads so naturally that I'm reasonably convinced it was written by someone whose first language is English.
Over the course of four lines of text, a non-native speaker, even a fluent one, would probably have given themselves away with a slightly unnatural phrasing, awkward word order, or an expression to closely translated from their first language. There is nothing in this text to suggest that it was written by a non-native.
