English learners - English native speakers are NOT always correct

when they’re correcting your text AND sometimes they make mistakes (even myself)

English “teachers” - while it may feel nice to “correct” a fellow English speaker, please be sure you’re giving the right advice so that YOU do not confuse the English learner (and also if I go onto your profile and I can clearly see you aren’t a native English speaker - don’t correct me mkay?)

@Pedro_Spanglish yes even us who teach can always learn something new! Always room to grow!

I agree... When I started to teach spanish I had to do lots of research on questions my students would bring because I wouldn't know why was it that way~ Learning never stops 👍🍵

@Gio 지오 thank you! I do love how you said “it may not be your personal word preference” 👌🏻 😂 Much respect from one grammar rule follower to another 🙇🏻‍♀️

👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for saying this (and for explaining present perfect tense 🙃). My personal peeve with English teachers on here is when they correct English learners based on how they would personally say it – especially if there was nothing to correct, rather than basing it on rules of grammar.

@Mei Haha trust me, you won't regret it! Ah also if you're gonna give it a try, I recommend skipping the 1st season and start watching from the 2nd season because the 1st season got horrible reviews!

My favourite is people giving out the worst corrections then you go on their profile and they are like "i have been teaching english for 5 years" 🙅🙅🙅
