What do French people struggle with in English?
The difference in pronunciation of words can be difficult for learners to address because they are often subtle and the sound does not necessarily exist in the learner's native language.
An example with vowels is that at times /ᶺ/ is pronounced almost like /ᵊ/, to the extent that much sounds like 'mirch'.
What is the most common grammatical mistake in the English language?
One of the most common grammar mistakes is using the wrong verb tense.
The verb tense tells your reader when the action takes place: in the past, present, or future.
When writing anything, you want to be consistent on verb tense unless there is a good reason to switch tenses.
The following are the 10 most common ESL mistakes we've encountered in ESL academic writing:
1Misuse of articles.
2) Transitional phrases.
3) Watch your adjectives.
4) Wordiness.
5) Plural possessives.
6) Adverbs.
7) Using a thesaurus.
8) Coordinating conjunctions.

A common problem for those learning English is that 'TH' sounds are rare among the world's languages. French speakers tend to change the 'TH' sounds to a 'Z' or 'S' sound. As such, words such as 'this', 'that', and 'the' sound like 'zis', 'zat', and 'zuh' when spoken.
