According to previous research (BADITZNÉ, 2019c), when listening to the spontaneous speech of Hungarian students of Spanish at threshold level (B1 of CEFR), one of the aspects that native Spanish speakers least tolerated was the way in which Hungarians hesitated in Spanish, therefore in this study we are focusing mainly on disfluency phenomena such as filled pauses and lengthenings, which are frequent hesitation devices. In the investigation we will first focus on the hesitation patterns employed by 20 Hungarian students of Spanish: a group of 10 students who have not yet lived in Spain, and another of 10 students who all have spent some time in the target country, and then we contrast their hesitation patterns with those employed by 25 native Spanish speakers. As expected, the stay in Spain positively influenced certain aspects of the acquisition of native hesitation schemes, for example, the overall duration of disfluency phenomena decreased considerably, but the vocalic timbre of filled pauses still seems to be a challenging area of negative transfer.
