If early in your childhood you were not exposed to native Spanish speakers and you had no chance to somehow practice it, it becomes more and more difficult to speak it without your native accent (this varies by region so it isn't just an "American" accent, it can be urban, midwestern, texas twang or whatever). Many people have trouble even trying to imitate regional accents in the same language - so don't be discouraged if you can't nail a flawless Spanish. It takes time, practice and if you aren't quite getting it, maybe finding a speech coach who can teach you more about how the tongue, teeth, mouth and breath play a role in the accent you want to achieve.
