Spelling traps
On the AQA A-level grammar list.
The short version
Only r versus rr is a real sound difference
Five of the six classic traps are spelling only: your ear genuinely cannot separate b from v, g from j before e or i, the silent h, c from s from z under seseo, or ll from y. Tubo and tuvo are perfect homophones. The exception changes the word itself, so drill that one out loud until the two feel separate in your mouth.
pero, perro
That's the gist. The full article goes deeper - more examples, the edge cases, the why - and the practice below scores like a vocabulary session and earns the same XP.
