Ha, sounds as though she'd sound a bit like that, leaving out the "r"s. This student is Northern German, and we tend to pronounce our "r"s preceding consonants as barely audible schwas, so she sort of does that in English, too. All vowels that resemble "o"s become the German "o" (examples here (http://userweb.port.ac.uk/~joyce1/abinitio/pronounce/audio/froh.wav)).
