If you’re fluent then it shouldn’t be too difficult: "b" and "v" in Spanish sound pretty much the same, so you should blur your bs into vs.
Spanish speakers usually have a problem with the "h" (i.e. have, hold, hello), they tend to mark it a bit too much.
Another difficult sound is the "sh" (i.e. share, shame, anguish), they sometimes pronounce it as a simple "s", so basically they pronounce "shame" and "same" pretty much the same way…. no pun intended
As for the grammar, try to use simple words and simple tenses, and maybe throw in a few trivial mistakes, like omitting a subject or omitting "do" in an interrogative sentence.

I speak Spanish every day but not with any Sp. accent.Just be yourself.In Sp. we have many different sound that we do not have in English. English does not have the short-a-and the -short-o- that Sp. has like in-casi or donde.English does not have Jota[j] or ñ In Sp.

U can b fluent but the accent is one of the most problem in a target language or foreing language, but not problem u can practice with me if u wan add me as a friend here, but much better in hotmail , frichi_15@hot……., i’m latin, but i don’t have an extreme accent in spanish like spain ppl, or argentinians, mexicans, my accent i think is perfect coz is not like the ppl i mentioned. we can interchange culture laguage. english – spanish. Espero que te animes y me agregues.

???
Why would YOU put on a Spanish accent because you are speaking to someone whose first language is Spanish?
I don’t understand your question…speak naturally. That’s what you do. It’s what we all do.

If word begins with s put and e behind the e like
eh-Spanish, eh-speak.
Why don’t you want to speak normally?
