Mistakes are good. They help you learn. I once called my father in law a camel instead of his real name. I felt like an idiot. But so long as you learn from your mistakes, they're good. So in this video, I'm going to teach you 10 very common speaking mistakes that students like you make in English. What I want you to do is watch all the video and then write in the comments how many of these mistakes you make. Are you ready? Let's go.
Hi, I'm Greg from English with Greg and I teach English to students from all around the world. And these are some of the most common mistakes that I hear students making. Some are related to pronunciation, some are related to vocabulary, and some are related to grammar.
So let's have a look at number one, which is the pronunciation of can. Did you know there are two different ways we can pronounce this word? And the most common pronunciation when we use it in a positive sentence is /kn/, /kn/. Not can. So we pronounce it like /kn/ and then we stress the main verb. So I can play, I can go, I can bring, I can take, can can can.
Now, we also have the option of pronouncing it /kæn/, /kæn/. But we only do this when we are really emphasising the verb can. For example, my brother can't speak Spanish, but I can. There I'm emphasising, I'm contrasting between my brother and me. So in that case, we use the pronunciation /kæn/.
Okay, the second very common mistake is also with the verb can. I hear a lot of students putting the word to after can like I can to go. Can you to help me? No, we don't use the preposition to after the verb can. And this is also true for other modal verbs like may, might and must. We do not say you must to go. Nope, we say you must go. You might want. You could help.
OK, the third mistake is related to the word will specifically in sentences that use the first conditional. Now, the first conditional is a type of sentence that has two parts. One part is the condition, and the second part is the result if that condition is true. For example, if, this is the condition, if the weather is nice tomorrow, what's the result? We will go to the beach.
Now, the mistake that I hear a lot is people using the word will in the condition. And this is a very common mistake that you must avoid. Do not use will in both parts of the first conditional sentence. If it is rainy tomorrow, we will not go to the beach. If the weather is good. Okay, we use the present simple in the first condition, we will go to the beach. We use will in the second part, in the result, if that condition is true.
And remember, we can use if or when for the first conditional so I will call you when I will get home, is wrong. I will call you when I get home, is right. Just remember, if you use will twice in a first conditional sentence, it's wrong. And you can learn more about the first conditional by watching that video after this one.
OK, the next correction or common mistake is related to this word. Hey, it's my birthday today. Oh, congratulations! No, don't congratulate me. I haven't done anything. It's my birthday today. Oh, happy birthday.

Good morning !. As far as number 5 is concerned; can we say "We were eight people." ?. And as far as number 9 is concerned; we don't pronunce the letter "s" when we say the word "Island".
Hi Greg, Such a lovely, articulate, professional presentation. I wish I had a teacher like you when I started learning English 50 years ago....I am now 66. At the age of 40 I remarried moving to the UK, where I lived for 17 years. My English husband used to be an ALevels physics teacher, who helped me with my English enormously. This was back in 1998, when reading a gossip newspaper took me a week...now I read the whole Guardian in an hour. Certainly, my English will never be super perfect, as it is my fourth language. I was born in Transylvania Romania, as a minority half Szekler Hungarian half Saxon German. I studied in Romanian, besides that I studied French and English, too. When I moved to the UK I studied English for 4 years to understand the language better and get more qualifications in computing, accounting...I studied Marketing and Business Management, so I needed a better level of English understanding in order to get a good job in the UK. It was not easy, but considering that I started a new life in the UK at the age of 40, I achieved a lot, working for large Pharmaceutical companies, as Personal Assistant to Clinical Directors. 12 years ago my DH took an early retirement at 55, so we decided to move to Hungary, as our grandchildren were born in this country. We have been living here since 2013, 10 years. I speak fluent Hungarian, which helped us settle down in this country, as my well educated, well spoken, and well read husband was not able to learn this difficult language all this time. Of course we speak English at home, watch Sky TV and read English News on our Ipads, but I noticed that my English got a bit rusty by using the Hungarian more, however, I should not complain as not many older Hungarians speak English at 66, not at my level, that is for sure. I found your site through an English teacher who happens to be Hungarian, but living in the UK for the past 19 years. She recommended your site on Esther Gottchall's TH-cam, which I often watch. I think you are an excellent teacher. My younger granddaughter, soon 18, would love to have such a great teacher. She studies German and English, and already has a B2 in German, and soon in English, too. I did your tests, and I have to admit I made two mistakes in total across the 6 levels. Thank you for reading my comment. I find you really articulate, very clear, very intelligent. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Hope your students appreciate your outstanding work. You are great! 👍💯 🇬🇧🇭🇺
I had all mistakes at the beginning when I was 7 now I'm 12 and I got better!
I envy you. I started learning English only after 11 years of school
I made these mistakes when I was 7. Now I'm 12 and I have gotten better.
Wow ! What a talented teacher !
Hi Greg.
I have some notes
1. The modal verb " can" : how 's it pronounced if it is a question tool?
2. Arabs also have the R r r r r r sound of the letter R
3. Arabs use nearly the British accent from decades ,since the English language became the second language in many Arab countries but : now the Americans started to teach their own accent which depends on
@. Opening the mouth widely for pronunciating many words.
B) pronouncing letter t as d ( they call it flap t)
And ( c) they pronounce the letter R with stress on it .
The question IS: if someone used to speak almost British accent , will they make fun of him/ her , you think ?????

Thank you, your explanation of the rules is so simple and nice, it makes understanding of something difficult easier!)) I am from Ukraine and I graduated from the university many years ago, worked as a translator for a while, though I realise that something was not clear till I've heard your explanation. Thank you for your lessons.
the TH and R sounds are the most complicated for me in English
How is it possible that I understand you perfectly without having to use subtitles if my English is not advanced (I'm Spanish). I suscribe.
In the 3rd mistake example, I prefer to use SHALL... because it is CONDITIONAL.... I only tend to use WILL WHEN THINGS ARE IN MY CONTROL and I can KEEP UPTO THE COMMITMENT!!
Thank you sir 🙏
You're welcome!
Great teaching!!
I am a Filipino and I speak English most of the time because I am a school principal. I learned a lot from your videos. It makes my English better every day.

Hi Greg. If I subscribe to the course in the weekend, will I get all the course sessions for this week?
Gosh!I only made the first mistake thanks for letting us know👌🏻
Hi Greg. Superb lesson. Could you explain the different pronunciations of the article "a" ? I've heard it as a shwua and often as the letter "a " In the alphabet.
My mistakes:about will in conditional sentences!!!Thank you-thank you-thank you! I love your lessons.You're a great teacher!
Hallo Greg. Thank you very much for all tips. I have learned a lot. I am from Brazil and now I have learned how to pronounce verbs in the past tense. No English teacher ever gave me that tip👋
you are a genious! tu est en genie! Sei un genio! I love the way you explain! thx you so much!
I am from Brazil.
Thank you very much teacher, Greg! Your lessons are quite interesting and I am improving a lot with them. I have already subscribed to your channel. Thank you for everything! Bye! Edmar, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Another helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve learned a lots using the right verbs
I'm German. Congratulations: Yes, you got me there; thanks for clarification. The 'R' sound: there are some letter combinations which totally force the tip of my tongue to briefly curl upwards, like in 'from', 'free', 'serenity', 'wrong', 'rules', 'bring', ...
Wonderful !!!!!!!! But I am looking for more advancing .
There are 5 of us in our family.
Thank you for teaching me this.
Only "can" pronunciation is my frequent mistake. Proud of myself :)
Hi sir,
Iam from Sri Lanka and Iam an English teacher your videos really really helpful 👍👍
“Congratulations” is a hard one for me. In Swedish “grattis” is a sign of happiness for the person. It can be things like, marriage, passed exam or the achievement to have fulfilled another year of life.
Hey Greg, I've been following you for a bit. I just wanted to thank you for all these tiny lil' tips.
If I may leave some constructive criticism, I think it would help if the correct words were marked in green instead of red. Red tends to translate to wrong, so it sometimes confuses me when the right word is in red and I have to wait and see if there's a 'but' at the end of your explanation.
Once again, thank you very much for your content!
I'm glad the 3rd was the only mistake I made. Could you please explain when we use "someone" and "somebody"? I read one is more formal (and already forgot which). Your videos make it easier to remember stuff. My first English lesson was in 2004 and I still make mistakes ><
And maybe a video about capital letters and punctuation. You use capital letters for names, countries, "I"... and? Moreover (no I shouldn't say moreover but I was taught in school it's an awesome word) punctation. I'm German and I tend to use our (very complicate) German rules but that's not correct I guess.
مساء الخير سيد Greg شكرا على شرحك الوافي للدروس لكن نطق Rالانجليزية صعب جدا بالنسبة لاغلبية العرب كصعوبة نطق الانجليزيون لبعض الحروف العربية مثل :
- حرف القاف تنطقوه كاف
- حرف الحاء والهاء والعين
تنطقوه الف
Thanks. I have no mistakes that you have mentioned. However, I believe that 'to' after can is not a preposition. Isn't it called particle?
I always used "we were 8" when i used to count my group of friends in the past...i never knew i was wrong..thanks alot Greg!😁👍🏻
I am always amazed with the pronunciation of "Squirrel" 😅😅
and the word "Tire" and all his forms...
Full mistakes and happy 😅
is it the same ipa as the noun of "can"？
Hi Greg.
Do you live in Canada?Do you accept individually students?
Thank you. I have one question. Which preposition is correct? We came home "from" Norway last week. or We came home "to" Norway last week. ? There wasn´t concept, just sentences to fill in with right preposition. Thank you.
all!!
Teacher, how identify a sentence, simple, complex , compound, complex-compound?
In Scared...the D also pronounced like T.. thanks for that ☺️🇦🇷✨
Pd: Con mis respetos, qué hermosos ojos!
Luckily I haven't spotted new insights for myself, but at the beginning I had these problems. Thanks for the video, it should be really useful for newborn learners in their adventure of English language mastering :-)
Very interesting video 😍😍😍😍
newborn learners?!!! 😶 no such word, my friend!!
6:20 good ryhme :D
Greg has a very interesting accent. It is halfway between British English and American English. I would like to know what his native tongue is.
