The same thing applies to all multi lingual people. The "accent" is dependent on the ability of that person to speak that language.
I live in Norway, am English by birth and for the first 25years of my life (last 5 in Norway). I know many fellow foreigners from many countries, some of them are so good at speaking Norwegian that you would not be able to tell they are not a native just from hearing them. Others (including myself) are not that good yet!

Sometimes some people never lose their accent.

I don't know . With the Americans I know we speak English because is easier . But in general is very difficult to loose all traces of accent .
Whilst speaking Swedish most Americans do have a distinct accent. One would have to assume it's the same for the other Scandinavian languages.
Does anyone know how to type accented letters in Rosetta Stone Spanish?

How do you write letters in a different language on a standard computer? e.g. the 'e' in cliche?

You're reading When an American speaks to a foreigner in another language, does it sound like they have an accent?
