Common English Mistakes: Learn English One Minute at a Time with Gateway School of English
Learning English doesn’t have to be difficult. Sometimes, understanding just one small difference between two words can make a big improvement in your confidence and communication.
That’s why Gateway School of English (GSE) has created our “Common English Mistakes” video series on Instagram. Each short episode focuses on one mistake that English learners commonly make, helping you understand the correct pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar in a simple, practical, and memorable way.
Our experienced GSE teachers use clear explanations, real-life examples, gestures, and visual demonstrations to make each lesson easy to understand. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced learner, these short videos are a great way to improve your English every day.
What have we covered so far?
Our series already includes a variety of useful topics that English learners often confuse:
- Hungry vs Angry – Learn the difference in pronunciation between these similar-sounding words.
- Heart vs Hurt – Improve your pronunciation while understanding two completely different meanings.
- Turn on the lights – Discover why native speakers say turn on and turn off instead of open or close the lights.
- Than vs Then – Understand when to use each word correctly in comparisons and sequences.
- Make vs Do – Learn which verb to use in common everyday expressions like make a cake and do homework.
- Listen vs Hear – Discover the difference between actively listening and simply hearing a sound.
Each episode is designed to help you avoid common mistakes, sound more natural, and communicate more confidently in English.
