10
I think I did conscious decision.
11
Even native speakers make mistakes.
12
Children's, do learn and also i make mistakes
13
so the question is is it a bad thing to make mistakes there's a sentence
14
that we teachers always use
15
if you don't make mistakes you won't learn learning comes from your mistakes
16
but here's the problem a lot of the students are afraid of making mistakes what
17
if i embarrass myself what if i say something
18
and they laugh at me i don't want to seem stupid i understand you.
19
Sometimes mistakes can be embarrassing.
20
Delicious looking dick from...
21
Sorry about that.
22
Delicious looking dish from Rick there.
23
Pork.
24
But it's mainly about your mindset.
25
It's about how you see mistakes.
26
You may be afraid of it and so you would never speak
27
because you have the fear of making a mistake and embarrassing yourself.
28
Or you can be like her of my office conscientiously, okay?
29
And the best of my ability.
30
Consciously, actually.
31
Make a mistake, have a good laugh, and learn from it.
32
Remember, English is not your first language.
33
It's your second or even your third language.
34
So be proud that you can speak another language and do not be afraid of making mistakes.
35
All right, enough talking in this lesson.
36
I have selected 15 common mistakes made by famous people. But why?
37
Because I want to show you that regardless of all these mistakes, you can clearly understand what they are trying to say.
38
So it is okay to make mistakes.
39
Nobody's gonna laugh at these videos that I'm going to play for you.
40
But at the same time, I'm going to use this opportunity as a teacher to show you 15 common grammar mistakes and to help you avoid them.
41
All right, let's start with Liverpool fans.
42
And we're going to watch a video by Mo Salah.
43
You want everybody to play good because you're not gonna win the league alone.
44
So you want other players also to perform.
45
That's what I'm trying to do last few months
46
or probably from the beginning of the season to study their games and understand what the players like.
47
You could easily understand what he was trying to say, even though English is not his first language and that he makes a lot of mistakes.
48
But see, this is the point.
49
It is okay to make these mistakes.
50
Did you find it funny?
51
No. He was talking about something and you could understand what he was trying to say.
52
But he made two mistakes in that video clip.
53
The first one was this.
54
You want everybody to play good.
55
Now, what's wrong with this sentence?
56
You understand what he means, right?
57
But the problem is with the word good.
58
Good is an adjective.
59
But before the adjective, what do we have?
60
A verb.
61
Play.
62
Now, what he was trying to do was to define play.
63
How were they playing?
64
And to give more information about a verb, we use an adverb.
65
Now, good is an adjective.
66
But what's the adverb of good?
67
Well, so instead of this sentence, he should have said this.
68
You want everybody to play well.
69
The second problem was with this sentence.
70
That's what I'm trying to do last month.
71
Now, there are two mistakes here.
72
One, I'm trying.
73
And two, last month.
74
Think about it.
75
I'm trying is present continuous, something that is happening right now.
76
And last month is referring to the past.
77
Present continuous past, they cannot be in the same sentence.
78
So what should we do?
79
Let's think about what Mo Salah was trying to say.
80
So this is Mo Salah.
81
And here's a diagram from the past to the present moment.
82
And what he was saying was that during this time, starting in the past and until now, he's been trying to do something.
83
For how long?
84
For a few months.
85
Now, something that started in the past and is still going on is present, perfect, continuous.
86
Have or has been verbing.
87
So instead of I'm trying to do last month, you wanted to say I've been trying to do in the
88
last few months present perfect continuous all right let's continue yeah
89
if I stay in this country I will think about it
90
but so far I'm just thinking about winning the premier league
91
and we see end of the season there are two things in this sentence so far I'm trying now
92
I'm trying as present continuous, something that is happening right now.
93
But so far is referring to a moment in the past until now.
94
This is not present continuous.
95
So what should we do to fix this mistake?
96
We have two options.
97
One, to use right now instead of so far.
98
If you change so far with right now, the problem is solved.
99
Right now, I'm thinking about winning the Premier League.
100
But is this what he wanted to say?
101
No. What he wanted to say is that starting in the past and until now, I've only been trying to focus on one thing over a period of time.
102
So he wanted to use so far, but with so far, we do not use present continuous.
103
We use present perfect continuous.
104
So far, I've been thinking.
105
So remember this, so far plus present perfect or present perfect continuous right now with Present Continuous.
106
Okay, enough with Mo Salah.
107
Let's go to another celebrity, a Colombian-American actress, Sofia Vergara.
108
You might know her from the show Modern Family.
109
Well, I was doing something, but I don't really know.
110
And maybe people convinced me on doing things that I didn't want it to do.
111
I don't know.
112
She is amazing.
113
And I'm a big fan of hers.
114
She made a few mistakes in this video.
115
Look at the verb convince.
116
She said, maybe people convinced me on doing.
117
So the preposition of convince in this sentence is on.
118
But that's the mistake.
119
For convince, we always use this structure.
120
Convince somebody to do something.
121
We use the preposition to.
122
So instead of convince on doing, she should have said convince to do.
123
Maybe people convinced me to do.
124
But there is another mistake in the sentence.
125
She said that I didn't wanted to.
126
Didn't is negative and it's past.
127
And after did or didn't, we do not use the past form of the verb because did and didn't themselves are in the past.
128
We don't use two pasts together.
129
So instead of didn't wanted, she should have said didn't want.
130
Let's continue.
131
I don't know.
132
I'll find out.
133
Somebody would text me, I think, or Instagram me or something and tell me what it is because I cannot remember what was I doing.
134
Okay.
135
I mean, it's perfectly understandable what she's trying to say.
136
But as a teacher, I have to correct this.
137
I cannot remember what was I doing?
138
Think about the second part.
139
What was I doing?
140
It's a question form, right?
141
Because we have what?
142
WH.
143
Was, which is our to be verb.
144
And then I, the subject.
145
So we have verb subject.
146
This is the structure of a question.
147
But is this a question?
148
No, it's a sentence.
149
It is meant to give us information, not to ask us anything.
150
And so we call this indirect question.
151
But an indirect question is not really a question and it should not be in the question form.
152
So it shouldn't be in the verb subject form.
153
It should be in the subject verb form as an affirmative or a positive sentence.
154
So instead of I cannot remember what was I doing, she should have said I cannot remember what I was doing.
155
I was.
156
Subject verb, not verb subject.
157
But how do you understand if it's an indirect question and not a direct question?
158
It's very easy.
159
Think about this.
160
Is the sentence asking a genuine question or is it trying to give more information to you?
161
I cannot remember what I was doing.
162
Is she asking you?
163
No. She's just saying that she cannot remember.
164
She's providing information.
165
So it's not really a question.
166
It's an indirect question.
167
Okay, time for politicians.
168
We're going to watch a short video of Emmanuel Macron, the president of France.
169
That's a package.
170
What about immigration?
171
About immigration in France, the program we defend is that first we want to better control it.
172
It was understandable, right?
173
And that's the point that I'm trying to make.
174
Even though they make mistakes, you can understand them.
175
So it's okay to make mistakes, no matter who you are, a student, a politician, an artist,
176
a celebrity, it's absolutely fine.
177
The whole point of learning a language is to communicate with people, is to get your message across.
178
And that's what they're doing.
179
And even though they make mistakes, it's understandable.
180
All right, but again, I'm a teacher, so let's correct him.
181
We want to better control it.
182
This is a common mistake among Europeans.
183
And this usually happens because of the differences between the European languages and English.
184
It's a mistake in the word order.
185
Look at better.
186
Better here is an adverb.
187
It is supposed to describe a verb and adverbs usually go after a verb or after a verb phrase.
188
Now, what's the verb phrase here?
189
The verb phrase is want to.
190
Want to what?
191
Want to control it.
192
Okay, want to control it is our verb phrase.
193
The adverb should go after the verb phrase.
194
Want to control it better, not want to better control it.
195
Let's continue.
196
No, but normal people now has to deliver a new revolution, a democratic revolution.
197
This is a very minor but very common mistake, and it is called subject-verb agreement.
198
What does it mean?
199
It means your subject does not agree with your verb.
200
Look at the subject of the sentence, people.
201
Is it singular or plural?
202
It's plural, people.
203
And And look at the verb.
204
Has, is it singular or plural?
205
Has is third person singular.
206
Plural subject, singular verb, they don't agree.
207
And this is why it's called a subject-verb agreement.
208
Because the subject is people, the verb needs to be in the plural form.
209
So instead of has, it should be have.
210
Normal people now have to deliver a revolution.
211
Let's continue.
212
You already did.
213
That's the new Munich conference.
214
When some people try to go in the Front National direction
215
in the french political spectrum that's a big mistake again the
216
same mistake subject verb agreement look at the subject people
217
and look at the verb tries singular right it should be plural try
218
when some people try to go not tries now another politician
219
georgia maloney the prime minister of italy what we are facing
220
and what we want to build we don't change idea every day We don't say every day a different thing.
221
And they can trust on us.
222
She speaks very clearly.
223
I had no problem whatsoever understanding her.
224
Did you find it difficult to understand what she was trying to say?
225
I'm pretty sure the answer is no. So again, guys, the point I'm trying to make is that even though these people are making mistakes in English,
226
it is perfectly clear what they're trying to say.
227
So don't be afraid of making mistakes.
228
Nobody's going to laugh at you for the mistakes you make in your second or your third language, unless you say something funny, in which case you can have a good laugh.
229
All right, back to this sentence.
230
We don't change idea every day.
231
What's wrong?
232
What's the noun here?
233
Idea.
234
Is it countable or uncountable?
235
Well, you can say one idea, two ideas, three ideas.
236
So it's countable, right?
237
Now, here's the thing.
238
Whenever we have a countable noun, it should either have a, an, or the articles, or it should be plural.
239
It cannot be alone.
240
So, it should be either an idea, a good idea, or the idea, or ideas.
241
It cannot be idea.
242
So, the sentence should be, we don't change ideas every day.
243
She also made this mistake, which is similar to Macron.
244
And again, as I said, this is a very common mistake among Europeans.
245
And it happens because word order works differently in European languages compared to English.
246
She said, we don't say every day different things.
247
Okay, listen.
248
We don't say.
249
Say is our verb.
250
Now, it needs an object.
251
Say what?
252
You don't say what?
253
We don't say different things.
254
How often?
255
Every day.
256
You see the correct word order?
257
We don't say different things every day.
258
So first, our verb needs an object.
259
Then we can have the expression of time or frequency.
260
She also said this, they can trust on us.
261
Now, trust here has a preposition on, but that's the mistake.
262
Trust doesn't need any prepositions.
263
They can trust us.
264
But I see why she made that mistake.
265
Instead of trust, probably she wanted to say rely, because you can't say they can rely on us.
266
And she said they can trust on us.
267
They can trust us.
268
They can rely on us.
269
Let's continue.
270
But I also think it depends on women.
271
Women need to believe on it.
272
To believe on it more than they do.
273
Again, very clear to understand what she wanted to say.
274
But there is a teeny tiny mistake.
275
Women need to believe on?
276
No. The preposition of believe is in.
277
Women need to believe in it.
278
All right, enough with politicians.
279
Now it is time for the GOAT.
280
No, not this GOAT.
281
The GOAT.
282
Cristiano Ronaldo is a great example of someone who has come a long way in his English learning journey.
283
When he was 18 years old, he couldn't understand English.
284
Are you feeling more and more confident with each game?
285
I understand.
286
Are you confident?
287
I understand.
288
Sorry.
289
But now, even though he still makes mistakes from time to time, he speaks English and he communicates effectively.
290
He does interviews, he has his own YouTube channel.
291
All right, watch this interview.
292
And Guardiola say two weeks ago, I guess, that they try hard to have me.
293
Now in this sentence, he made two mistakes and these are very common among beginner intermediate learners.
294
He is clearly talking about the past, but he is using the base form of the verbs.
295
Basically, instead of using past simple, he's using present simple.
296
How do we know that this is a past sentence?
297
Because you can clearly see the two weeks ago time phrase.
298
So instead of try, he should have said tried.
299
Instead of say, he should have said set.
300
Let's continue wasn't close
301
but i think i i did conscious decision um i don't
302
regret this is a collocation mistake there are two mistakes here one is about the word decision is it countable
303
or uncountable one decision two decisions three decisions
304
so it's countable remember what i said earlier
305
if a word is countable you either need to use articles a
306
and the or you need to use it in the plural form now
307
because he's talking about one decision we should say a decision right i think i did a conscious decision
308
but here's another mistake you don't do a decision you make
309
a decision this is called a collocation a collocation basically is the way different words sit together for example
310
do does not collocate with decision make collocates with decision you make a mistake you don't do a mistake
311
so the sentence should have been i think i made a conscious decision let's continue
312
but kind of some points that you're you not agree
313
so i'm always like that in my life here's a very common mistake.
314
With the verb agree, we don't use to be verbs.
315
Am, is, are, was, were.
316
We use do, does, did, or the negative verbs.
317
So I cannot say, are you agree?
318
Is he agree?
319
Was he agree?
320
I should say, do you agree?
321
Does he agree?
322
Did she agree?
323
And the negative form, I cannot say, you are not agree.
324
I should say, you do not agree.
325
All right, in this lesson, I try to do three things.
326
I try to show you that everybody makes mistakes.
327
I tried to explain, demonstrate, and prove that it's okay to make mistakes.
328
You should not be afraid of it.
329
And if you don't make mistakes, you won't learn.
330
I also used the opportunity to teach you 15 very common grammar mistakes and how to avoid them.
331
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
