"Because of that, she has some accent but fakes sometimes some Spanish accent talking with the tongue in the roof of the mouth. When she pronounce some s or c like when she say "Tienesh que sher fuerte Lola" (You have to be strong Lola) but in Argentinean she should say "Tienes que ser fuerte Lola" with no sh. "
First of all, Spaniards (not all) do the "tongue in the roof of the mouth," thing, as you call it, for the letters C,Z followed by an I or an E. The S is for all intents and purposes the same everywhere that Spanish is spoken. Although, in lots of places in the world where Spanish is spoken the letter S is often silent or aspirated. But when it is spoken, the S is the same everywhere. It's only for C/Z that most spaniards have the "th" sound. (not "sh")
In any case, in Argentinean she would say "Tenés que ser fuerte Lola" not "Tienes que ser fuerte Lola"
And I don't know anyone in Spain who says "tienesh que sher fuerte" Maybe some S's sound like that to you, but it's mainly because lots of spanish people talk very closed, but it has nothing to do with the "tongue in the roof of the mouth thing" Totally different things.
I'm not even Spanish, but people have some weird stereotypes about how Spanish people speak.

mmin, different regions speak very differently so maybe whoever said what you were referring to was talking about a particular region that they knew. Just a thought...you kind of jumped down their throat...
