I find near-native pronunciation a real mixed blessing, to be honest. It's not a problem with German, but in Spanish, it prompts my interlocutors to immediately speak colloquially and at speed until the end up losing me. The whole time I'm gawking at them trying to figure out how not to seem like a poseur, I'm wondering if they think I'm rude or just stupid, and which is worse.
