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.

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.
