“…The (dis)similarity of L1 and L2 sounds determines the perception of L2 categories in inexperienced listeners (see the Perceptual Assimilation model as described in Best, 1995;Best and Tyler, 2007;Grimaldi et al, 2014) as well as experienced listeners (see the Speech Learning model as described in Flege, 1995;Flege, 2003). Beyond phonological category learning, a recent large-scale study by Schepens et al (2020) examined the role of L1 on L2 learning in 50,000 Dutch learners of 62 diverse L1s using language-testing scores that assess speaking, writing, reading, and listening proficiency. The study found that L1 exerts a huge impact on L2 learning through the phonological, morphological and lexical similarities between the L1s and the L2.…”

“…It is well testified that a learner's L1 influences the acquisition and use of a new language (e.g., Schepens et al, 2020). As a widely known example from outside academia, the Foreign Service Institute of the United States Department of State has for decades categorized languages in groups based on how long it is estimated that an English L1 speaker needs in order to acquire the L2 to a certain proficiency level (https://www.state.…”
