A few days ago,
My five year-old-nephew asked me,
"Can you converse fluently with foreigners?"
Gee...just a moment, please. my lovely nephew...
How can I answer your question...?
So I told him,
“Sure I can!”
“Really!? You're wonderful!”
He was cutting up after that for a while.
Sorry, Your uncle just told you a little lie.
cough...cough...
I want to be the uncle that my nephew admires...! (- -;
Wait for a moment, Please...
（Expression in English is really hard to me yet...hu ; ;）

You can say, "I want to be the uncle that my nephew admires!"
You are so cute! So is your nephew. :)
Also, instead of 'speaking well with foreigners' ==> this is not natural English. A better way to say it is,
"Can you converse well/fluently with foreigners?"
I could use “admires”.
I see.
Your advice is very helpful.
勉強になりました。^ ^
ちなみに、「勉強になりました」に近い表現ってあるんですか？
調べてもこの言葉のニュアンスに近い言葉がみつかりませんでした…。; ;
“Yes, sure!” "Sure I can!"

はは。できないよー。^ ^;
でも、まだ甥っこが大きくなるまで少し時間があるから
その間にがんばって「嘘を真に」します。^ ^
