We shouldn’t be ashamed of our mistakes but see them as opportunities to widen our knowledge. That’s all very well and good as long as you have someone to help you learn from your mistakes and teach you the difference between things and abracadabra! That’s where I come in. As an English teacher by profession and from listening to adult students for many, many years I have been able to acquire a huge insight into what confuses you.
