Tarita , you are not alone. There is an Argentine anchor working for the international network CNN , I am amazed how strong his accent is in spite of living for so many years in Atlanta .USA.  Unless we have learned a language  when we were childrens ,an accent is unavoidable .It comes also to my mind Henri Kissinger , famous american Secretary of State , his german accent  stands out in his speeches.
