In Japan, pratically all the students learn american accents, which can sometimes be an impedement in the learning process as in Japanese we don't have the "R" pronunciation. Many think that pronuncing the R corretly is a prove of the speaking ability because of its overwhelming hardness, though that's not necessarily true.

From my experience, the pronunciation isn't an important facter, but the choice of vocaburary is: even in our mother tongue, we constantly estimate what the interlocuter says next, and as long as it doesn't digress much from the context, we can follow what the other is trying to communicate depite the lack of fluency in pronunciation.

I assume that this pronunciation-phobia of the Japanese derives from the fact that English and Japanese differ drastically, not only the vocabulary but also the grammar and culture, which I realized while living here in France and learning French. The level of difference with English is astounishingly smaller than that between English and Japanese, even though the pronunciation is strikingly not alike.

That being said, in fact, this pronunciation-phobia towards English can be observed among the French people, which is an interesting phenomenon considering their numerous similarities. If we take that into account, it might be reasonable to say that can be originated from the educational system.

Not sure what you mean here, especially when in previous sentences you talk about obsession with pronunciation? Also, I get with you mean with pronunciation-phobia but we don't really use -phobia in that way.

Many think that pronouncing the R correctly is a proof of one's speaking ability because of its overwhelming difficulty, though that's not necessarily true.

It's "pronunciation" but "pronounce." "Prove" is the verb (証明する) and "proof" is the noun (証明・証拠), although they sound similar. "Hardness" almost always means 硬さ, not 難しさ. "One" here (as in "one's") refers to an arbitrary nonspecific person, kind of similar to "someone's" but with a different nuance.

From my experience, the pronunciation isn't an important facter, but the choice of vocaburary is: even in our mother tongue, we constantly estimate what the interlocuter says next, and as long as it doesn't digress much from the context, we can follow what the other is trying to communicate depite the lack of fluency in pronunciation.

Very interesting: "interlocutor" isn't a commonly used word, but you have used it correctly here. Impressive.

"Estimate" is used for guessing numbers; here, just use "guess." "Interlocutor" is a very formal word. I think "what someone will say next" might work better in a casual context. If you say "despite," that means it's a fact (the person for sure has bad pronunciation). However, earlier in the sentence, you just said "interlocutor" without specifying anything about their pronunciation abilities, so it's weird to suddenly make that assumption. You can instead say something like "even if" to turn it into a conditional.

From my experience, the pronunciation isn't an not the only important facter, but the choice ofor: your vocaburlary is: ematters as well. Even in our mother tongue, we constantly estimate what the interlocuteor says next, and a.
