This article presents results obtained in a Masters dissertation (SILVA, 2014). Assuming that Portuguese native speakers exposed to formal Spanish study commonly encounter difficulties in identifying the differences between phonological and allophone patterns in both languages (COSTA, 2003; GOMES, 2013; MIRANDA, 2001; SILVEIRA & SOUZA, 2011), the study investigated if Brazilian speakers learners of Spanish as a foreign language would be able to recognize the differences between the sounds /s/ - /z/; /l/ - /w/ and /R/ - /r/. As means of investigation, two perception tests were administered. The first test encompassed the identification of sentences (produced in one language alone or mixed); the second, focused on the differentiation of sounds in pairs of words, followed by a language identification task (whether it was Spanish or Portuguese). Next, the subjects were each interviewed in order to verify if they were able to justify their answers. SPSS software was used to data analyses. As regards to the qualitative analysis, we adapted the Mental Representation levels proposed by Karmiloff-Smith (1992). The statistic analysis majorly revealed that there is no significant difference in performance in the observed variables.
