Here's a common grammatical error that I've noticed the Japanese making on HelloTalk: ❌️ Let's be friends with me ✅️ Let's be friends ✅️ Be friends with me ❌️ Let's chat with me ✅️ Let's chat ✅️ Chat with me In Japanese, this would be 私 (me) と (with) 友達 (friend) になりましょう (let's become/be) and 私 (me) と (with) 相談しましょう (let's chat) respectively, but it does not translate word for word in English. We will understand you, but it sounds odd to us :)
