Language mistakes in cultural context among learners of Polish as a foreign language

Abstract

This article presents the most common language mistakes in a cultural context made by learners of Polish as a foreign language. The analysis was carried out on the basis of three language groups: individuals who speak Vietnamese or Chinese; English speaking individuals (Italians, Spaniards, Turks and others); Slavic speakers (Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Kazakhs). Errors were examined on the basis of three determinants: semantic, syntactic and phonetic.
