current
The English word "actual" means "real" or "true." To talk about something happening right now, use current (unlike the false friends aktuell in German or actuel in French).
received
The English verb "become" means "to turn into" or "grow to be." To talk about getting something, use received or got (unlike the German false friend bekommen).
on
In English, things always depend on something. Using "of" or "from" is a common mistake caused by direct translation from French (dépendre de) or German (abhängen von).
speak English fluently
In English word order, you must never put an adverb (fluently) between a verb (speak) and its direct object (English).
