Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes confuse “moustache” with “beard”. A moustache is only the hair on the upper lip, while a beard is the hair on the cheeks, chin, and sometimes the neck. Another common issue is spelling: British English uses “moustache”, while American English usually uses “mustache”. Both words are pronounced the same.
