Default Re: Students: What is your biggest English frustration?

Hi,

As an ex-ESL student and a current ESL teacher who was born and raised in Turkey, I'd say I had problems and see my students experience the same problems with pronuncing certain sounds like "th" sound or "w", articles (the or zero?), style & register, and perfect tenses as they don't exist in Turkish.

Oh and, I sometimes still say "he" for "she" or the other way round when I talk fast - but I also confuse the Turkish words for left and right, so it shouldn't count, right?
