I had a lot of Korean students, and their language lacks articles ("the" "a/an"), so they wouldn't see that they skipped them in English.
Also English has a lot of redundancies, and they hated including them as much as _I_ hate using a double-negative as an intensifier (which Russian does, as well as many dialects of English).
