As I have pointed out to my kids on numerous occasions, we ALL have accents - we just don't notice our own. You don't have to be speaking a language you weren't born into, either. I had a roommate, born and raised in Central New York, who sounded distinctly Texan to some of our classmates from downstate New York. She had a broad, "appleknocker" accent - broad flat "a" sound. I grew up 20 miles from her but according to our friends, don't have the same accent. Go figure.
Anyway, unless you grow up multilingual from birth, the secondary language(s) will always sound a bit "off" to a native speaker. And I say hurrah - I like regional accents, imperfections in pronunciation, etc.
