Are you embarrassed or frustrated when you make mistakes? You are not alone. Many learners feel bad when they make a mistake, but they don’t realize that making mistakes can help them improve! In fact, making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn, especially if you are trying to learn a language. In this video, I will teach you that making mistakes is a very important part of learning a language. I will then show you some ways you can use your mistakes to improve your English. We will go through some practical tips on what you should do to maximize your learning. Which mistakes should you focus on? How do you know what your mistakes are? How can you make sure that you are improving? For answers to these questions and more, watch the video.

wow ? I got 100 . Thank you, Emma! You are the great !
Yep! I agree with you, Emma is one of the best teachers at EngVid.
Making mistakes is an essential part in the learning proces. However knowing the source of the mistake (not being familiar with the English sound system, for example) might help avoid them in the long run. Well, this is my believe.
Excellent advice on how to cope with mistakes. Well-developed quiz Emma. Congrats!
P.S. I bet I’ve made some mistakes. Some feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance.

You are an English export so please help me with inserting correct verb in given sentence.
“How…….. Shoba………(TO FIND) the courage to run the race even though she…….. (TO BE) terrible pain.”
Sorry, we can’t do your homework for you! But here’s a hint: try looking up some of our lessons on the past tense.

Hello Emma, nice video. I am that person who hates making mistakes in front of people and this is not helping me because each time I do mistakes and I am corrected I learn even better this way.
Most of the time my mistakes is with tenses and prepositions, hope you will do more videos on that.
Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Also I have learn from another teacher, that if you want to speak without being embarrassed, just let it be known to the people you are talking that the language is not your native language and you will be free to speak as you want. But also ask them to correct you when you do mistakes to identify and correct them next time.
it’s a good lesson and good tips . thank you Emma
it’s useful,thank you, Emma!

Emma realy i thank you
Haha! I was very optimistic with this response
7. The longer you have been making a mistake, the harder it may be to fix.
true
false
If you have been making the same mistake for a long time, it is often harder to fix. The good news is that you can fix it. You need to be patient with yourself and have a plan on how you will fix it. Keeping a journal or diary of your mistakes can help.
I have reached 90, thank you very much for this lesson Emma

In our culture you should not ask other people to correct you, when you make mistakes. They do it every godd@mn time for its own pleasure. I often feel like the single sportsman in a referees’ world.
