Abstract: The article is devoted to a very relevant topic – borrowings from English into German and Spanish. This way of language enrichment is one of the most important one nowadays. Borrowing helps to name objects that are new for the recipient culture or that do not have its own name in the language. This process leads to the changes of the shape of the language, to its development. In this article English language as a source of borrowings and two languages recipients – German and Spanish – are studied. English language is a language that acts as a donor for many languages, especially for the Europeans ones due to close geographical and cultural connections. In the article all the examples of borrowed vocabulary were taken from media and social network texts, since these spheres are the rapidly developing and tend to reflect all the current processes happening inside the society. The history of these borrowings is studied and descried. The conclusion about the influence of English language on Spanish and German languages is made at the end of the research.
