Ways to get it wrong
Airport vs. Air pocket
Don't confuse 'aeropuerto' with 'aerofagia', which means 'air-swallowing' or belching.
Pronouncing 'll'
The 'll' in 'lleva' sounds like the 'y' in 'yes', not like the 'l' in 'llama'.
A small cultural note
Taxis in many Spanish-speaking countries are often hailed on the street or found at designated stands. It's common to state your destination clearly and confirm the fare if it's a long trip.
