Subject: Re: Conscious Learning of Accent



Don Lance's Spanish-German adventures are interesting. When I first began

learning Polish in the early 70's (in Poland), I took a trip to Germany (with

fair German and so-so Spanish already implanted). While in Germany, I met a

Spanish professor and tried to haul out the tongue only to find it full of

Polish. Not a trace of Polish in my German however.

Does anyone out there have any references to any studies on the influence of

2nd, 3rd, 4th langauges on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc... languages?

Hasta widzenia,
