156 - English phrases for mistakes

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

In today's lesson, I want to teach you some phrases that native English speakers use when talking about making mistakes. Because you don't just want to say, "I made a mistake. I made a mistake. I made a mistake" over and over, it gets boring and repetitive, so here are some different phrases you can use.
