The main aim of this research was to analyze the mother tongue phonological interference in an elementary level. The literary review allowed approaching the main topics to understand if the mother tongue phonological interference could be considered as a problem in the second language learners’. For this reason, the researchers found the most difficult sounds in which learners always present problems affecting their pronunciation. Field notes sheets were used to obtain some word sounds’ difficult to articulate by the students, in which they presented mother tongue phonological interference. Those sounds were adapted to elaborate the checklist in order to evaluate the mother tongue phonological interference. Thus, data from the instrument showed that majority of participants’ present mother language phonological interference because they used Spanish sound during their pronunciation of the certain sound in English. As a teaching strategy to avoid to have a phonological interference, this research is of great importance because it allows reflecting on a key point that had been forgotten but it is necessary for improving the English pronunciation. Overall, mother tongue phonological interference must be taken in account by teachers during the class to help students to overcome these learning problems
