Abstract
This diploma paper deals with multilingual learners of English as L3, with either Italian or Croatian as their L1. The aim of this paper is to explore the way these speakers perceive the language distance between English, Italian and Croatian because this can greatly influence the process of language acquisition. The theoretical part deals with factors that can influence the learning process, such as transfer and perceived similarity; and we provide a brief overview of the differences between SLA and TLA. We wanted to see not only which languages were perceived as more similar, but also how participants explained the relationships between them, and whether the perception of similarities was influenced by their L1.
