Kesilapan biasa:
Learners often say *"obstacle for"* instead of *"obstacle to"*, e.g. *"This is an obstacle for success"* instead of the more natural *"This is an obstacle to success"*. They may also confuse *"obstacle"* with *"difficulty"*: a difficulty is any hard thing, while an obstacle specifically blocks progress toward a goal.
