Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense 'voy a acostumbrarme' instead of the simple future.
Correct: Use 'me acostumbaré' for a more direct future statement.

Mistake: Forgetting the reflexive pronoun.
Correct: Always include 'me', 'te', 'se', etc.: 'me acostumbaré', 'te acostumbrarás'.
Why: 'Acostumbrarse' is a pronominal verb and requires the reflexive pronoun.
