200 Words a Day CD-Rom to give away each month
--------------------

We've initiated a monthly draw for a '200 Words a Day' CD-Rom of your choice.

Anyone can enter, and you can get your friends to enter as well. Each one of them that tells us that you referred them, adds your name to the draw again. So if you have 5 friends tell us you referred them, you get another 5 entries.

To enter click on the link Enter the Draw. You'll need to answer some easy questions (we even give you the answers...!).

--------------------
Spanish Tip: Dozens more words in an instant.
--------------------

Take most English adjectives ending in '-ical' and make the Spanish equivalent by changing the ending to '-ico'.

For the female adjective (where the adjecive is describing a feminine noun, the suffix becomes -ica).

tactical becomes táctico, táctica.
geological becomes geológico, geológica.
political becomes político, or política.

I’m sure you can think of loads of others.

--------------------
French Tip: Dozens more French words in an Instant
--------------------

Take most English adjectives ending in '-ical' and make the Spanish equivalent by changing the ending to '-ique'.

tactical becomes tactique.
geological becomes géologique.
political becomes politique.

--------------------
German Tip: Make professions feminine by adding '-in'.
--------------------

Many German professions are made feminine by adding '-in' to the male form.

der Kellner - the waiter becomes die Kellnerin, the waitress
der König, the King becomes die Königin, the queen
der Lehrer, the male teacher becomes die Lehrerin.
der Student, the male student, become die Studentin.
