THE UM/EHM THING IS LEGITIMATE, AND THEY SHOULD CUT IT OUT.

That's the tough thing with accents. Some stuff is just cute and harmless, some stuff really butchers the language. I'm a native Hebrew speaker, and Hebrew is more tolerant of some accents than others. A heavy American accent sounds pretty bad in Hebrew, whereas some of the European accents sound okay. Korean accent is adorable, imo. If her accent seriously interferes with people understanding her, it's probably frustrating for her, too, though.

I mean, yeah, my reading is crap - I'm mostly super slow, I'm just really bad at reading aloud, but I don't um every other word. Also I'm like... barely N3. I'd expect that to improve with time.

In terms of the mistaken readings, I would say, maybe if the same day they kind of forget, I'd expect them to work on it more for the next class or something. It's an excuse only so far, y'know? So it's still pretty frustrating.

Yeah it's the same with any language, I think. A German accent? No big. A thick Japanese or Chinese accent can be bruuuuuutal.

The frustrating part about the kanji reading is that it kind of comes off like they don't give a shit what the Japanese pronunciation is, they know the "real" one, so whatever. Also, shit son, if you've studied this damned language hard enough to pass N1, don't you think you could put a little more effort in?
