Vanlig feil:
Learners sometimes confuse "mustache" with "beard." A mustache is only on the upper lip, while a beard is on the chin and sometimes cheeks. Another common mistake is leaving out the article and saying "He has mustache" instead of "He has a mustache." Spelling can also be confusing: American English usually uses "mustache," and British English usually uses "moustache."
