Here's an example: Somehow, their education system make them learn to pronounce "th" as a "z". Like "the" becomes for them "ze".

Not the education system. Languages have different stuff to articulate, that we learn as childs as we learn the language. If you later learn a different language that has phonemes that doesn't exist in your primary language, than you have difficulties to pronounce it. It sounds funny if english-speaking people try to pronounce the german sounds for ÄÖÜ. So I could say your education system fails at learning you the german language.

You have a point. That being said, My primary language doesn't have many of the phonemes found in english, yet my pronounciation is fine. Yeah, I still have a mild accent, but it's nowhere near as bad...
