Small mistakes like saying "await for" often don't affect communication; however, they show that you're not a native English speaker.
This is why I want to help you understand how to use similar and confusing words correctly - so that your English can have fewer mistakes and become more fluent!
My e-book 600+ Confusing English Words Explained describes many of the most common errors English learners make, and shows you the right way to use these words. I think you'll find it very helpful :-)
