15 VERY common spelling mistakes

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

English spelling can be a real challenge. Because of the way the English language has changed over time, there are LOTS of irregularities and exceptions in the spelling.

Although it's difficult, it's important to learn to spell correctly because it gives a bad impression when there are spelling mistakes in your written English.

Today you'll learn 15 common spelling mistakes that even native English speakers often make - so you can be aware of them, avoid them, and spell these words correctly!

Please don’t feel bad if you’ve been making some of these spelling mistakes – like I said at the beginning, these are mistakes that even native English speakers make because English spelling is tricky.

Mistakes are an opportunity to learn and improve, and you can do exactly that inside my 200 Common Errors in English Course.

I’ll teach you the WRONG way to say things and the RIGHT way to say them, so that you can speak and write more confidently and more correctly in English.
