I love how they say vowels after words that finish with a consonant like "balse", "interestingue" or "bookse" because in their mother tongue almost every word finishes in a vowel. Thus they adopted this festure when they were speaking english

Can we talk ?

[@HERXMES]

Well done! Passed my C2 after 4 years in an english college in switzerland. I still remember the FCE exam:). In my teenage years I stuttered, which got worse when I was nervous. However my teachers knew that and helped me. Also the examiners are familiar with that and it wont really impact your overall mark. Just try to follow the instructions and talk as often with friends/ or your teacher. Good luck if you are reading this;)

[@aysegulboratisci3862]

As a foreigner who tries to learn italian, i can totally relate with the mistakes that they make. They think in terms of italian and translates them into english and than they talk. All the mistakes that they made were actually the essential parts of their language. For example; she said “i like talking to they” in italian they and them are the same word as; “loro”. Or they never said i like watching tv, instead they said “watch tv” because in italian you say in the watch tv as “mi piace guardare il tv”. Sooo relatable!

[@gabriielaramireez]

spanish students use to make those mistakes too!

[@mikelarrieta1]

A fun fact happened to me while I was scrolling down the comments to see how people react to this, I saw lots of people writing down all the mistakes and particularly one of them wrote just one mistake. This implies he/she didn’t get that people attend English courses to study the language, making mistake of course helps you to improve your skills and boosting your fluency in English. When you take note of the mistakes, fam, let me say that, you d better stop, especially if you notice just one mistake, that means you don’t understand anything.
