               Funny English Mistakes

Funny mistakes are from new English students.  If you have ever tried to learn a new language, you know how hard it can be! We will all make many, many mistakes, and some will sound a little funny to native speakers. That's OK- It's part of learning. And a good sense of humor can help us have a good attitude and enjoy ourselves while we learn.  So, enjoy these actual funny mistakes from students I have taught.
