OdpowiedzUsuńThe grammar mistakes I've noticed:
0:50 difficult to him (difficult for)
1:03 it's written (it was written)
1:16 he gives us...invited (he gives us an invitation/ invites us)
1:28 interpret on ourselves (interpret on our own/ ourselves)
Kamila spotted all mistakes... so I will not write them again. I have not found any other mistakes. I would like to say that I liked the topic!
