The term cognates is understood as words that share roots and origin in twodifferent languages, while their meaning may remain the same (i.e. true cognates), or not (i.e.false cognates). This undergraduate dissertation deals with the problems that arise to L1Spanish speakers in their learning process of English as an L2. The results obtained from thetwo experimental tasks conducted revealed how language transfer from the L1 influencesnegatively the learning of the L2, as well as how participants struggle more when identifyingthan when producing cognates.
