En México, "hacerse una chaqueta" significa masturbarse.

Great questions. I am Mexican, so that's my accent. However, I try to standardize my use of Spanish, and not use many colloquialisms. Also, I use the vocabulary word that is more common in Spanish-speaking countries, even if it's not the word we would use in Mexico. For instance, I call a jacket a "chaqueta," which in Mexico is actually sexual slang.

For anglo speakers, any word that requires rolling an R is difficult, and learning how to not pronounce the U as you would in English. In terms of accuracy, the subjunctive is very complicated for them because in English we don't use it very often.

You get a bit of everything. Many students do honestly want to learn Spanish and/or get a good grade in class, so the put a lot of effort into it. In most classes there is a small percentage of students (5-10%) who have absolutely no interest in learning anything. I'm sure that happens in all fields of study.
