Try making sure your R's have a bit of "d" in them and making sure your V's have a bit of "b" in them. Also, put more tongue in your T's.

As painful as this can be, try taping yourself speaking Spanish and then go over it with a fine tooth comb. You're right in that an accent is unavoidable unless a person is unusually gifted aurally or learned another language at a younger age, but most people can improve by taping and listening. Or...if you are fortunate enough to have a native speaker readily available to listen to you read or say sentences, that is the best. "Poco a poco se anda lejos."

Kaitlyn,

If he wanted to sound more Mexican, would he need to be Spanish?
