Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes use "miraculous" for things that are just good or nice (e.g., *a miraculous sandwich*). In everyday English, it is usually used for results or events that are extremely good or very unlikely, like *a miraculous recovery* or *a miraculous escape*, not for ordinary pleasures. Learners also confuse "miracle" (noun) with "miraculous" (adjective): say *a miraculous result* (not *a miracle result* in most contexts).

Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners may not clearly separate the everyday, figurative use (*a miraculous escape*) from the religious use that suggests real supernatural power (*a miraculous healing at a holy place*). In religious contexts, "miraculous" usually implies that normal scientific explanations do not apply and that a god or supernatural power is responsible.
