#307 Avoid These Common English Mistakes

Michael Lavers
About this episode

For the past 6 months, I've been noting down the most common mistakes I see English learners make in preparation for this episode.

I go through them one by one and give examples from my own life to give you some context for each one and show you how they're used.

Some of these are simple mistakes, and others look at the subtle differences between two similar phrases.
