The present article arises from a research work whose main objective was to describe, through the analysis of errors, the main difficulties faced by English-speaking Jamaican students in learning Spanish, identifying and analyze what type of errors are most common among students of a native teacher of Spanish and those of non-native teacher, as well as identifying the errors that tendency is to fossilize in an easier way among these Jamaican English-speaking learners. The mistakes made by the students in both teachers, indicate the indiscriminate presence of fossilized errors, given the strength of the interference of the L1, English, common to both groups of students.

Keywords : Spanish; errors; fossilization; interlingua; learning; teaching; linguistic; etiological; pedagogical.
