Unless you were very young when you learned. My mother was English and my father French. I have no accent in either. Spanish I picked up with 25+ years of living in latin america and I've been told I sound just like a Costa Rican by people from outside and inside Costa Rica. Some people are language chameleons and can pick up nuances and dialects quite easily. But then again I know some "gringos" who have been down here as long or longer than me and stick out like sore thumbs linguistically speaking.
