Abstract
The opportunity to study English language in the country of its origin is a privilege not available to everyone. Thus many students choose to learn English in a non-native environment alongside another foreign language. This article is a part of a big research dedicated to the process of adaptation of the students from the countries of South-East Asia to a new educational environment and different cultures. The article represents the preliminary results of the study on major difficulties in mastering the pronunciation of English sounds due to the process of interference from mother’s tongue and the first foreign language, in our case – Russian. By conducting our research for more than 3 years and being able to interview 356 students from theSouth-Eastern countries, we have come to several conclusions, which are represented in our article. According to our observation we suggest some practical advice that can help overcoming interference in teaching English as a second language to these kinds of students.
