Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes use "arduous" to describe a person (*"He is very arduous"*) instead of an activity or experience. Use it for tasks, journeys, processes, or periods of time, not for people. It is also sometimes confused with "ardent" (meaning "very enthusiastic"), but "arduous" is about difficulty and effort, not about strong feelings.
