BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Learning the English language can be very difficult. Sometimes when you write or speak you make mistakes. That's ok! Mistakes will be made and you can always fix them.

In this English lesson I'll talk about 5 common mistakes that I've seen or heard English learners make recently. Sometimes I'll notice these mistakes in the comments of a video, or during a live English lesson. I'll show you have to fix these mistakes in a simple way.  After all, learning English should be as simple as possible! There is no need to make it harder than it needs to be!

In this lesson I'll talk about ground versus floor, ceiling versus roof, good job, how's it going, and they're, there, and their!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson and I hope you can avoid all of the mistakes that I mentioned!
