For example, forgetting to put the accents is one (anos vs. años).

How about inglés and ingle. Without the accent a language becomes a body part. I learned that form Jen today.

How about this-- "El" which means "the" and "él" which means "he."
One of the biggest mistakes I know.

cargar vs cagar. The first is to load something. The second is a slang term for defecation.

There are so many. I get the feeling this thread will be around for a while. Tanto vs. tonto. I always pronounce them the same,no matter how hard I try,they come out sounding the same.
