Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "understandable" with the verb "understand" or the adjective "understanding". Use "understandable" to describe things that are easy to understand (e.g., "an understandable text"), and "understanding" to describe people who are kind and accept others (e.g., "an understanding teacher"). Another mistake is saying "I am understandable" when they mean "People can understand me"; it is more natural to say "My English is understandable" or "People can understand me."
