Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think "invaluable" means "not valuable" because of the prefix "in-". In fact, it means the opposite: extremely valuable or useful. They may also confuse it with "very expensive"; while it can be used for money value, it is more often about usefulness or importance (advice, help, experience, etc.).
