    Welcome to Coffee Break Spanish. Yo soy Anabel y tengo muchas ganas de traerte cinco de los errores más comunes en español. I'm very excited to help you take your Spanish to the next level by bringing you five of the most common mistakes in Spanish. And just as a disclaimer, I am not going to be talking about ser and estar, por and para or even the subjunctive. The five mistakes I am bringing you are core basic mistakes. ¿Quieres saber si cometes estos errores? Venga, no nos entretengamos más y vamos a ver el primer error. [melodía alegre] [suspira] Me duele mi cabeza, dame tu mano or hago mis deberes. These are some of the most common mistakes learners make and it can be a bit tricky to correct because grammar-wise, the sentences are kind of correct, but they sound strange. Why is that? Because in Spanish we don't use possessive adjectives, mi, tu, su, nuestro, vuestro and su with body parts.
