The most common mistake students make is not preparing for class or feeling that they don't need to.

Being prepared is crucial!

When you don't prepare, you are less likely to engage and ask questions and you put yourself outside of the lesson when you should be in the middle of it. It has nothing to do with level and everything to do with effort.

These skills don't come from a book and each culture has its own set. For example, most Americans are friendly and informal. We also use a lot of slang and idiomatic expressions. Sometimes it is difficult for non-American speakers to learn the expressions, but after hearing them frequently they will learn what they mean.
