This paper aims to describe linguistic histories of bilingual teachers (Portuguese/L1-Spanish/L2), obtained through the application of a Language History Questionnaire, which seeks to record the linguistic profiles, such as the level of proficiency, in order to know part of the linguistic experience of the research participants. The structure and application of the questionnaire are described and, then, the linguistic histories and profiles of the seven study participants, who are Brazilian professionals licensed to teach Spanish, are presented. In the end, some correlations are established among the data presented.
