S did not like Spanish, but did very well in Latin. He was a mathy kid who enjoyed the logical structure of Latin and did not want to be bothered with practicing a correct accent. Also, he did not have to hold conversations in Latin
(I gave up trying to teach him French when he was 4 because I could not stand his heavy American accent :()

Mythmom: S1 had a French teacher who was of Italian descent and also spoke with an accent. I wonder if that is common? I discovered her command of feminine and masculine was shaky. Unfortunately, it was too late by the time I realized it.
