When you read and look at some words, they look so alike but they still have completely different meanings. I guess you know what i mean. Take for instance the words "to" and "too", I didn't know the difference before some days ago when a tutor taught me. To put them in context; "I am running too fast for you to catch up", "I ate too much food" or "to be or not to be." When to use apostrophes can also be confusing. I have one example. When you write, "You're my friend" you have shortened down the two words "you are". If I am in a hurry when writing, I sometimes write "your" instead of "you're". The word "Your" means "ownership" and that something is yours and not that 'someone are' anything.
There are also a lot of words I can't pronounce correctly. Take for instance beer and bear, hair, hear and here. I can't hear it myself but I am probably pronouncing it wrong, since I always get corrected. Will I ever learn?
