AI tutor suggests
Ayer fui al cine con mis amigos y vimos una peli muy buena.
Drop yo and nosotros: the verb already says who did it. In Spain, friends say peli instead of película.
Mañana voy a manejar mi carro al trabajo.
In Mexico you manejas a carro. Conducir un coche is how it’s said in Spain.

«No pica… bueno, poquito.»
It’s not spicy… well, just a little.
Mexico
“Ahorita” can mean now, in an hour… or never.
«Ahorita lo hago.»
I’ll do it right now. (Maybe.)
