Summary/Abstract: The starting point of the paper is the idea that in the process of foreign language learning, there can occur not only language interference but also cultural interference. The latter can be defined as transferring the elements of behaviors and attitudes from the native culture into the utterances in a foreign language. The author gives examples of errors made in texts written by German learners of Polish.
