Wrong article, mixed-up word order, accusative instead of dative – every German learner makes these mistakes. The good news: most of them can be avoided with a few clear rules.
Why Do the Same Mistakes Keep Happening?
German differs strongly in grammar and sentence structure from many other languages. If you come from English, Arabic, or Spanish, you automatically carry over the thought patterns of your native language – and that's exactly where the typical pitfalls appear.
The good news: these mistakes are predictable. Once you know them, you can address them directly.
