we/us native speakers

Your English seems as good as that of most of we/us native speakers.

Should it be 'we' or 'us'?

Thanks in advance.

It's only us that is correct, Tan Elaine. The object of any preposition is the object form of a pronoun.

His English is as good as you.:-(
His English is as good as yours.;-)

simpler, huh?

In this case, it should read:
Your English seems as good as ours, native speakers'.

It seems.... ==> you guess or think it is good.
It is .... ==> you are positive it is good.

Thanks to both of you.:-)

There's no comma in this structure. It should read:

Your English seems as good as that of most of us native speakers.

I'll second that. :-D

I think that sentence should be:
"Your English seems to be as good as ours native speakers."
Am I right? :-)

Nope, sorry. This structure doesn't take a possessive adjective; it takes a pronoun.
