'También' is the universal and most common word for 'also' in all Spanish-speaking countries, including Spain and all of Latin America. There are no significant regional differences for this word.
Using 'también' in negative sentences instead of 'tampoco'. — Don't say: 'No quiero ir también.' Say: 'No quiero ir tampoco.' (I don't want to go either.) 'También' is for adding to positive statements, while 'tampoco' is for agreeing with negative ones.
Confusing 'yo también' and 'a mí también'. — If someone says 'Tengo frío' (I'm cold), you respond 'Yo también' (Me too). If someone says 'Me gusta el chocolate' (I like chocolate), you respond 'A mí también' (Me too). The choice depends on the structure of the first sentence.
Incorrect word placement. — 'También' is flexible, but it most commonly goes before the verb ('Yo también hablo español') or at the end of the phrase ('Yo hablo español también'). Placing it at the very beginning ('También yo hablo español') can sound a bit unnatural or overly emphatic for a beginner.
