Abstract
The process of learning a foreign language has a lot of influence from the mother tongue of a person. For this reason, through the analysis of the influence of Spanish, while learning English, it could be shown which parts of the speech affect the most in this process. Among them, it can be seen the 'false friends', or words that share the same way of being written or the same way of being pronounced but they do not share the same meaning. To determine the levels of influence of Spanish in the English learning process, students from the Hospitality and Tourism School at PUCE Esmeraldas were taken as population. The eight students who belong to the 8th level of the hospitality and tourism school participated in the survey and the test that determined which their English level was and how they have been affected by Spanish. The structure of this research has 5 chapters. The first chapter refers to the introduction the objectives, the justification, the theoretical framework, the legal bases and the previous studies. The second chapter goes through the different methods that were used to get the results, the universe, the sample, and the information collected. The third chapter has the analysis and interpretation of results and the description of the sample. Then, chapter four explain the discussion of the research process. Finally, the fifth chapter describes the conclusions and recommendations.
