Having gone through speech therapy myself, I would say you'd be fine... isn't it more about working on making certain sounds correctly (like putting your tongue between your teeth for a "th" sound) as opposed to saying a WORD correctly? The reason most people can't express speech clearly I'd say is because of certain sounds, like the "r" or "th" sound as opposed to whole words... if you can make your sounds correctly, then as long as you can put them together, you can say a word, regardless if it's in russian, spanish, or portuguese...
