Native-like or not no. 25 - is it some kind of negative transfer from L1?
Dear All,
Can you tell me if this sounds native-like to you? The highlighted parts sound awkward in IMHO.
I really want to go but I just think it's a bit expensive. If we stay there for 5 days then on the 1st day is the flight from ABC to XYZ and on the last day we will fly back from XYZ to ABC. So in fact we'll be there only for 3 days.
Thanks

The grammar is wrong in the second sentence. But that doesn't mean you will not hear people talking this way.
