Learners sometimes think 'liaison' is always an action like 'to liaison'. In modern English it is almost always used as a noun in this sense (a liaison, to act as a liaison), not as a regular verb. Another confusion is using 'liaison' to mean 'leader' or 'manager'; a liaison connects groups but does not necessarily have authority over them.
