Maca is Argentinian. However, she’s been working in Mexico for about 8-9 years now and undergone speech classes to neutralize her accent. She speaks almost Mexican at this point, her true accent can only be spotted every now and then. Even on interviews or when she’s talking as Maca, she no longer uses Argentinian grammar which is slightly different from grammar in Mexico.

Oh, okay, that’s cool to know. 

And other helpful people chimed in too:

@myrmeen said: Not everyone is physically capable of rolling Rs. Not even in countries with languages that use them. 

Yeah, you’d kind of figure that’d have to be true.

@erinkomgaykru said: My mom was born and raised in Chile and despite being fluent in Spanish does not have the physical ability to roll her Rs, it’s a whole thing that my abuela teases her about

Lol, families are like that.

@youngstar-gazer said: I wonder though, why Maca’s accent doesn’t sound Argentinian either on her normal speaking voice

I guess she’s lost it, from what anon says.

@piecebypeace said: Based on what I’ve read, Maca had to change her accent for a previous role which took place/shot in Mexico. And it likely just stuck. So she doesn’t sound Argentinian, but her accent is definitely “Mexican-ified”. Lol Also, it’s true that not all Spanish speakers or dialects roll their r’s. But I think it’s safe to say most do. Usually, it should only be rolled on double r’s (-rr). There are some exceptions. And then there are some people who roll every -r. Anyway, Maca does roll hers

Got it! I hope you see this, original anon, lol.
