How do the rest of you feel about the anouncements in foreign languages?

I recently started flying the SJC-TPE routes, and I couldn't help to notice how embarrasingly painful it was to listen to the FA's anouncements in Mandarin Chinese. Granted that I only have a limited Chinese vocabulary, it was still obvious to me that the FA's lack some very basic public speaking skills. To be completely fair, I have also heard some aweful PA's in English on domestic flights.

Note to flight attendants: practice reading your materials before the flight.

Maybe I'm being too critical; nobody really pays attention to the PA's anyway.
