In this episode, titled “The 5 Most Common Mistakes in Italian,” you will find five common mistakes that Italian learners (or at least my students) often make.
Some mistakes can be corrected immediately, while others are more difficult to fix and explain why the phrase doesn’t work.
This often happens when students need a deeper understanding of grammar. However, with some practice and goodwill, everyone can avoid these mistakes and become better Italian speakers.
