Well broken Japanese is just as annoying as broken English if you keep it up for extended periods of time so why make an ass of yourself when you don't have to.

It's like saying "me speak english good". Nobody thinks its cute if they say it constantly. 女きれいな is on the same level of brokeness.

The other key ingredient that is missing is intonation イントネーション. It's never taught in Japanese lessons for some very bizarre reason and on Japanese TV, they do such good 外人 Japanese accents.

Anyway I'm going on a tangent now.
