Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "foreigner" with "stranger". A "foreigner" is from another country, while a "stranger" is simply someone you do not know, even if they are from your own country. Learners also sometimes say *"a foreigner language"*; the correct phrase is *"a foreign language"* (adjective), not *"a foreigner language"*.
