Book a Lesson with Me: https://lessons.levelupenglish.school/Have you ever heard a native English speaker make a mistake in their English? Of course no one is perfect and this includes native speakers. There really is no such thing as perfect language and the fact that native speakers will make mistakes can be quite confusing for someone perhaps like you who is trying to learn English, and it's very difficult when you want to fix your own mistakes as a learner, but the native speakers you are trying to copy do not speak perfectly.That is quite the problem. So if you've ever been confused by something a native speaker has said before, including me perhaps, and you've wondered whether this was actually correct, this is the episode for you.So in today's episode, I will be talking about common mistakes that native speakers make and discussing perhaps why they make this mistake and whether it's okay for you to do the same.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast370
