Surely they must do? Like kids are not going to find certain sounds like ‘sp’ easier depending on what country they’re from but maybe the sounds they learn first with be different?
Kids do in fact have an easier time pronouncing syllables they hear about them. And from about age 3 it starts going downhill. At 9 it’s near impossible to learn to speak a new language without accent.
I agree, but things like “Sp”, is that common in italian? I’m not sure but I’m thinking not. It’s interesting and now I need someone with an Italian toddler to chip in.

it was ‘sketti’ for me back then, and it is still decades later.

Pronounciation differs in Italian, so when they mispronounce, it probably wont’t sound like their American counter parts.
