Common English mistakes Russian speakers make

These mistakes are extremely common when translating from Russian to English. Fixing them quickly will make your English sound more natural.

  1. Dropping articles: 'I need book' instead of 'I need a book'
  2. Omitting 'to be': 'She teacher' instead of 'She is a teacher'
  3. Wrong prepositions due to Russian case system: 'I think on this' instead of 'I think about this'
  4. Literal translation of idioms: 'Not my business' to mean 'None of my concern'

Tip: Pick 3 mistakes and practice them daily for a week.
