Do you say "Can you borrow me your pen?" or "She said me the truth"? You're not alone! Even people with really good English make these 5 mistakes every day.
In this English podcast episode, Jenny and Mike follow Leo, a friendly office worker whose English is good, but not quite natural yet. Listen to the story, count his mistakes, and learn a simple trick to fix each one forever.
✅ The 5 mistakes we fix today:
1. Borrow vs Lend – "Can you borrow me?" ❌ → "Can you lend me?" ✅
2. Make vs Do – "I did a mistake" ❌ → "I made a mistake" ✅
3. Teach vs Learn – "She learned me" ❌ → "She taught me" ✅
4. Say vs Tell – "She said me" ❌ → "She told me" ✅
5. Bring vs Take – "I'll bring you to the market" ❌ → "I'll take you to the market" ✅
💡 You'll also learn:
The "direction" trick behind 3 of these mistakes
The "me test" for teach and learn
Why teaching someone else helps you remember better (a real 2014 study!)
A 5-question practice quiz at the end
🎧 Listen, repeat after us, and practise speaking out loud.
