Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the topic of teaching Polish as a foreign language to Slovenes. The aim is to present the impact of the negative transfer on learning Polish by Slovenes and to discuss the errors they make due to interference. The material was excerpted from the written works of MA students of Polish Studies in Ljubljana. Negative transfer occurs at all levels of language education, also among students who are fluent in Polish. The article also presents effective strategies for working with Slovenes to eliminate negative transfer errors, i.e. a departure from a communication strategy in favour of a contrastive approach, translation tasks and exercises based on the technique of language drill.
