Detailed explanation-1: -Learning a second language can be affected by the patterns of the first language. This is referred to as linguistic interference. There can be some blending of phonemes. For instance, most Americans who learn French in high school or college pronounce French words with a distinctive American accent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Language interference is the effect of language learners’ first language on their production of the language they learn, or the learners’ first language influences their second or and their foreign language. The effect can be in any aspects of language, such as grammar, vocabulary, accent, spelling and so on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Second language learning (SLL) is concerned with the process and study of how people acquire a second language, which is often referred to as L2 or target language, as opposed to L1 (the native language).
Detailed explanation-4: -As mentioned, there are two types of interference: positive and negative [Odlin 2001, p. 56]. The greater the difference between the mother tongue and the target language, the greater the negative interference is possible to be used by the speakers.
