טעות נפוצה:
Learners often confuse ‘arrogant’ with ‘confident’. ‘Confident’ is usually positive and means you believe in yourself, while ‘arrogant’ is negative and means you think you are better than others and often show little respect for them. Learners may also use ‘proud’ when they mean ‘arrogant’; ‘proud’ can be positive (e.g., ‘proud of my family’), but ‘arrogant’ is almost always negative.
