New Lesson

Saber and Conocer
Saber and conocer can both be translated by the English verb to know, but they are used in completely different situations.

From the Forum

Gringo
The word gringo is very interesting, since in some places it refers simply to a light-skinned person with no intent to insult, whereas in other places, it can be a racial slur. Any comments/precisions about where gringo is or is not a slur?
