Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "mien" with the verb "mean" because they sound similar, but they are completely different words. Another mistake is to use "mien" in everyday conversation; in modern English it is mainly literary, so in normal speech "look", "expression", or "demeanor" are more natural.
