Is there any chance you can work/volunteer at an ESL tutoring center or writing center, especially at a community college? That's a great way to see which errors people of different languages make. 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).
