How long would it take a native English speaker to learn the ins and outs of English grammar?

I'd like to think my English grammar skills are at least above average, minus the misplaced comma here and there.

I grew up learning grammar by simply imitating the way intelligent people spoke, but I really had no idea why the way they spoke was eloquent or correct. It all just ended up sounding right.

If I'm ever to teach this language I am so familiar with, I cannot get away with, "because it sounds right" as a reason.

Is there a fast lane for native English speakers to learn English?
