10 common spoken English mistakes, and how to fix them
Most spoken English mistakes are not random. The same ten show up again and again, across learners from every language, because they come from the gap between how your language works and how English does. The good news: once you know them, they're easy to catch.
Here they are: 1) past events in the present tense ("yesterday I go"); 2) missing articles ("I have meeting"); 3) the wrong preposition ("in Monday", "depend of"); 4) forgetting the third-person -s ("she work"); 5) "since" and "for" swapped; 6) question word order ("why you did that?"); 7) uncountable nouns made plural ("informations", "advices"); 8) "make" and "do" confused; 9) double negatives and "very much" in the wrong place; 10) translating idioms word for word.
Reading the list won't fix them; hearing yourself make them, and being corrected in the moment, will. That's what Airi does: she lets you talk naturally and fixes the one mistake that matters without stopping you, so the correction sticks. After a couple of weeks, you'll notice you catch these yourself before she does. Free to start.

Get corrected in the moment
Fixing a mistake right after you make it is how it stops being a habit.
Self-correct out loud
When you hear yourself slip, say the correct sentence again. Repetition rewires it.
