Five More Common English Mistakes Made by Finns

Learn about - and receive tips on how to overcome - five typical mistakes Finns make when they speak English. Each mistake will be discussed in short detail. An opening slide will show the mistake, then show the wrong way Finnish speakers say it, followed by the correct way that English speakers say it. I will then spend some time discussing the mistake. Sometimes I provide you with reasons why the mistake is made, sometimes I give you a tip on how to get past the mistake and often it's a combination of both. Finally, I provide you with ten sentences - two from each mistake - which you can study and learn from.

A little bit in Finnish concerning what you will learn from these videos: Miten opit tunnistamaan 5 yleisintä virhettä joita suomalaiset tekevät puhuessaan englantia. Vihjeitö virheiden välttämiseen.

Sorry but the tip _'Do NOT use a preposition before 'next', 'last', 'this' or 'every'_ is wrong. It's required to use prepositions with these words when talking about objects, for example _'He's in the next room'_, _'She's on the last bus home'_, _'I won't have any more beers after this one'_ and _'She always rehearsed before every performance'_. It's only in some specific phrases about frames of time, when we're talking about something happening _at that time_ that we don't use prepositions like 'in', 'on' or 'at'. We can still use prepositions like 'before', 'after', 'from' and 'until', for example _'Until this morning I had never had pancakes for breakfast.'_

i dont understand why we would say "eat your medicine" when in finnish too we take our medicine. no one says "syö lääkkeesi" "eat your medicine." it's always "ota lääkkeesi", right?? the only reason we might say it is because english is a bit too hard for some of us i think. and therefore our vocabulary is not great either. hmm i really dont know, i just find it kinda funny.
