Commonly confused words 1 intermediate B1-B2

Today we are going to look at some words that we really have to think about.  Even native speakers mistakenly misuse them at times.





Compare:

I never drink coffee in the evening except when I know I will be staying up quite late.   (ausserdem)

We don't agree on changing teachers, but I have to accept the decision  (akzeptieren)

Now let's compare some other words.  $remember, try to learn the words here before moving forward.  Try to write them down in sentences and review them so they do't go missing from your vocabulary bank.
