Typical German speaker mistakes in English (47)

I often hear these mistakes made by German speakers who are learning English.

They say:  My new office is in the near of the main station.

A native speaker hearing this would totally understand what is meant but ‘in the near of’ is not correct.  It’s a mistranslation of ‘in der Nähe von…’

Correction:  My new office is near the main station.

                      My new office is close to the main station.

                      My new office is not far from the main station.

Have fun learning English!
