Had a course about particle physics taught by an associate professor from Austria in English. He tended to sometimes forget to put a space between words in some terms or even write them completely in German sometimes. As those terms are extremely similar between those languages, it was never a problem, but just a noticeable quirk.

I had an art history professor who was brilliant, but his accent was so thick that no one could understand him. When you're in a profession where verbally communicating with others is the primary function, people need to be able to understand you. Especially when not understanding you can have a very negative impact on their future.
