Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses Polish phonetic system points which are difficult for Slovaks, and shows how shortcomings in phonological competence may also affect spelling correctness in texts written by students. The paper is of a comparative nature, so the problematic issues are presented separately in the Polish vowel, consonant and accent system compared to the Slovak one. In each of the three parts, typical pronunciation and spelling errors are present that occur in students’ spoken and written work. The aim of this contribution is to present the importance of phonological competence training during the foreign language course in such a way as to minimise negative language transfer.
