#385 The #1 English Mistake in Each Country

#385 The #1 English Mistake in Each Country

Author: Michael Lavers July 15, 2026 Duration: 34:27

Over the years I've taught students from most corners of the world, and over that time, I've noticed that students from each country tend to make the same mistakes. This could be due to the education system, or perhaps also the differences between English and their native language.


In this episode, I got a few of the largest countries and shared the number 1 mistake I hear from students in each country. I also share how you can avoid this mistake, then answer a question using the correct English as an example. Of course, I invite you to answer the questions too. You can do so in the shownotes comments.

Michael Lavers has spent years as an online teacher, and that experience shapes every episode of The Level Up English Podcast. Rather than dry lectures, he builds each conversation around engaging, often unexpected topics-from daily life in Britain to broader themes of motivation and culture. The idea is to absorb natural British English as it’s genuinely spoken, picking up vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical nuances in a context that actually holds your interest. You might explore a specific language challenge one week and dive into a completely random, fun subject the next. Monthly guest episodes add further dimension, featuring conversations with other teachers or specialists. This approach turns the learning process into something far more organic. The podcast is designed for those who want to move beyond textbooks and feel more connected to the language, hearing it used in lively, authentic discussions. It’s a regular dose of English practice that feels less like study and more like tuning into a good conversation, steadily building confidence and comprehension along the way.
