Eh...Take it from my aspect though. As a PPL rated pilot with like 150 hrs. tt. A verbal IFR clearance is like literally poetry in motion. It gave me chills.
Remember back to when you were in my shoes and I'm sure you could relate.
That being said I'm sure it is easier at your stage of your career. As you IFR clearances always typically given out lightning fast and you had to copy them just as fast because as soon as the controller unkeyed the mike there was someone else on the comm. requesting a clearance That and controllers don't seem to like to repeat themselves too often.
Unless of course you announce prior that your "student pilot". But I think that only gets you one maybe two repeats before your verbally berated!
