AB The present paper involves discovering how native culture affects when learning a language, in this case Spanish, and how far students shift their behavior resembling the Spanish native speakers attitudes. The investigation deals with the analysis of the apologies and requests in Spanish of 42 students from the United States and several European countries, including Spain, who took part voluntarily in this project. The results found that culture may be considered to be a potential agent which is able to interfere in the process of learning. Also, the study showed that participants were able to acquire cultural expressions after spending, at least, 6 months in Spain.
