Sometimes I've heard people say they're worried about 'learning mistakes' or picking up bad habits from talking to other learners, but what I've found is that it's a progression. As you start to understand more, you start to understand your own mistakes. If anything, it's kind of helpful to be exposed to other people's mistakes as your accuracy improves because you find yourself making a mental note, reinforcing that you know whatever the grammar or missing word is in the sentence.
Totally! Thanks for sharing such an important point and insight. In classes I notice what you’re talking about all the time. I love when students help each other and correct each other’s mistakes. It can work like a mirror in a way.
