I have a thick southern accent, am I cooked?

I have tried learning languages in the past, and I can usually get to where I can read on at least a kindergarten level, but I feel so stupid trying to verbalize it, I can hear myself and I'm just butchering it and it's really discouraging and that's usually the point that I just nuke the whole program.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the accent itself, I've earned my stripes gaining it, but it seems to be a henderance in this situation. Should I press on and at least be able to read and understand media, or is there any hope in speaking it?
