Although my maternal language is Dutch but at the same also familiar with the british language I will put my notes in english, but often I will put some spanish phrases in between. Claro, as I am learning Español. I still face difficulties with the accents in words. Ufff..
There must exist some kind of regulation or clue when or where or when not using those accents. Right?

Question: Why do I hear many Spanish words different than what is spoken? For example, I hear deste but the words are actually de este. Forum answer: You hear deste because that's what they say. Just like in English, words are not uttered as separate units but run together in a phrase. You don't say, "Why .. do .. not .. you .. tell .. me" but "Whydonchootellme."

As you shall see in upcoming lessons, Spanish places a great deal more emphasis on gender than does English or Dutch. Anyone who has studied Spanish knows that one of the biggest challenges is to learn all of the verb conjugations. That's why I make a link to this section.
Too many beginning courses bombard you with long lists of Spanish vocabulary words to memorize. For most people, this is counter-productive because you won't even be using many of these words- and so you will eventually just forget them anyway. The words that are used are repeated over and over throughout the course, so you really learn them well, and they are words that you will find yourself using every day.

í = alt hold down + 161
