1. INTRODUCTION.
In this project we are going to realize an investigation on the acquisition of the second languages. Firstly we must know the process of acquisition of the second languages.Later we will centre on someone of his aspects; in this case I have decided to centre on the influence of the first language on the acquisition of the second language.
Finally across an introspective method we will analyze examples in which the first language has influenced on the acquisition of a second language. We will obtain these examples realizing interview not native speakers of the Spanish.Therefore we will have to see as such languages as the English, the French, or the Russian influence of a way or other on the learning of the Spanish.
Also we must have present the factor of age in this project, since we know that we are treating with 6-year-old major persons, for what already they have spent the critical state of acquisition of the second languages. It is necessary to bear inmind that a child with age between 3 to 6 years possesses major facility to learn the second language that a major person. In this period, the acquisition of the language takes place of natural form.
I have chosen to centre on the influence of the first language on the acquisition of the second language because it seems to me to be interesting to know how persons who do not know anything of thelanguage (in this case the Spanish), manage to learn it almost to the perfection in a short period of time (we say shortly because the time needed for the acquisition of the second language is considerable enough).
Since I have mentioned before we will start by introducing the process of acquisition of the second languages, we will center more on the effect that possesses the knowledge of the firstlanguage in the learning of the second language. Later we will expose the methodology that we are going to use, that in this case since we have said is going to be a method of introspection. Later we will see the interviews realized to the not native speakers of the Spanish and with this information we will analyze the results that we want to obtain. Finally we are going to establish an own andpersonal conclusion about what we have analyzed.

2. METHODOLOGY.
Since we have said previously, the method that we have chosen to realize this work is the method of introspection. To be able to analyze our information first we have to explain what means this method.
The introspection or internal perception takes as a foundation the reflexive capacity that the mind possesses to recount or beconscious of immediate form of its own conditions. When this reflexive capacity is exercised in the form of the recollection on the past mental conditions, we have the so called " retrospective introspection "; but the introspection can be a knowledge of the past experiences and also of the present ones, of which they are given together and in the present of the own introspective act.
Thereforein our case across the accomplishment of interviews to 3 not native persons of the Spanish, we are going to obtain a few results that we will be able to analyze in relation with our theory. We realize these interviews with a concrete aim that is to know how the first language concerns in the learning of the second language. For this, the interviews have an aim and for it we choose a series of...
