Hello everyone, and welcome to 'One English Tip in One Minute for Russian Speakers'
where each week I talk about one common Englilsh mistake made by Russian speakers
as they learn English...
this is video number 25.
I say it all the time, but I truly mean it: Good for you for learning to
speak English. It's a very smart thing to do, and a cool thing to do, and a very
practical thing to do in today's world. In these videos I show you a slide,
and on the slide there are two sentences: One is the correct way that a native
English speaker says something, and the other is the wrong way that many Russian
speakers who are learning English say something. Your task is to decide
which one is correct. Read through the sentences, think about the right answer,
pause the video if you have to and I will discuss the answer in the slide
that follows this slide.
If you got this wrong - or you got it right simply by taking a wild guess -- you're not
alone. A lot of Russian speakers make this mistake. The reason is, is you're
taking the Russian language and kind of applying it to the English language and
making mistakes that way. This is called interference. It's very common.
What you have to do is, you have to start studying this structure. I've
started you off on that process by giving you three sentences. You should
study these sentences in their entirety, you should drill them into your brain and
you should put into practice what you've learned through speaking or writing or
both. You should follow up on this, and continue to study, and eventually
you'll get past this mistake.
Just a few quick things. First, if you liked the video I hope you'll click
on the thumbs up below. Second, as these videos come out like clockwork at
the same time every week, I hope you'll subscribe to my channel. Third, I have an
online course called '50 Common English Mistakes' and that costs the equivalent of
20 years...but for viewers of these videos it costs 10, so you get a half off
discount. So I hope you'll think about that. Fourth, I'm continuously developing
my website, so please go check that out. Finally, my Twitter feed is
@epicenglishtips so I give English tips in Twitter form. Please follow me on
Twitter. All the information is in the description box below. That's it.
Thank you for watching and see you next week.
