The general conclusions found were: There are learning advantages for English-speaking students because Spanish shares with English basic linguistic characteristics deriving from their Indo-European formation. Lexical, morphological and syntactic structures are similar. Both languages employ basic components, rules, units and restrictions, similar functions and bases for learning. The divergences result from distinct and diverse influences at work in both languages, as well as differences in their historic, cultural, religious and social development. Structural correspondences can be arranged in hierarchical importance for pedagogical purposes for people teaching, translating or learning Spanish. The greater the difference between the languages, the greater is the difficulty in learning.
