09min | 10/27/2026

Description

Same rule, same mistake, every time you speak. Why do I keep making the same mistakes in English? In this episode, you’ll learn three common mistakes in English that intermediate learners make very often, why they’re so hard to change, and four simple ways to stop making mistakes when you speak English, including a better way to learn new words. You’ll practice fixing real sentences out loud. You’ll also find out why being understood can make a mistake harder to notice, and why language teachers compare these mistakes to dinosaur fossils.
