š Mistake #2: Asking for a ācarroā at baggage claim.
ā
Fix: A carro is a car! What you need for your bags is a carrito.
š Mistake #3: Saying āĀ”Estoy caliente!ā when youāre hot.
ā
Fix: This means Iām feeling sexy! Instead, say: āTengo calorā to avoid awkward stares.
š Mistake #4: Mixing up āsalidaā and āllegada.ā
