New Features

Falsos amigos - False cognates
There are a lot of words that look similar in Spanish and English, but that mean very different things. Avoid misunderstandings with these explanations for five new false cognates: arena, colegio/college, discutir/discuss, editor, and quitar/quit.

Discusión

When to use de with que
I am confused about when to use que by itself in a sentence or when it must be accompanied by de. For example,
1. No estoy seguro de que el café esté listo.
2. No estoy seguro que él recuerde mi nombre.
Any tips?
