One trick I employ for language acquisition: as a native X-speaker, I often encounter native-Y speakers making mistake Z in my mother tongue. When I remember to do so, a little googling at home often reveals that a light retro-translation of Z is indeed the proper (sometimes even a refined) construction in Y.

Fortune, mxgrn!
