Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes confuse "hamper" with "hammer" because they look and sound similar. "Hammer" is a tool or a verb meaning to hit with a hammer. "Hamper" as a verb is not about hitting; it is about making progress difficult. Also, many learners overuse it in casual speech where "make it hard" or "slow down" would sound more natural.

Also, some learners confuse this meaning with the laundry "hamper"; context (food vs. clothes) usually makes the difference clear.
