The native language has a significant influence on acquiring a second language, both facilitating and interfering. Learners often assume the second language operates like the first, leading to errors, but the first language also aids the process in less observable ways. Errors caused by native language interference may be addressed by helping learners understand how their first language causes issues and supporting them to think in the second language instead of relying on translation.
