New Lessons

Spanish Accents
The Spanish acute accent (la tilde) has two main uses: to indicate that the normal rules of word stress are being overridden and to distinguish between otherwise identical words, such as que/qué and tu/tú.

Derogatory Endings
Can someone help me in understanding derogatory suffixes? For example, there is an ending that can be added to the word "casa" to indicate a crummy house ("casaducha?"). Any others?
