"dangerous" English
Dear teachers --
below are just a few of many quite embarrasing mistakes that unwary english students sometimes make
- she is a call girl -- instead of she is a call office girl
- she is a sporting girl -- instead of she is a sporty girl
The two examples--use errors given above are especially so to say dangerous because they look so innocent to most non-native speakers students
sure thing, you can give me more examples of this sort of course -- from your teaching practice
sure thing many english students will be grateful for such warning examples, not only me
if you please?
