Free Spanish Resource

A FREE sixty-three page resource to answer all of those pesky questions about the Spanish alphabet, spelling, accent rules and use of capitalization and punctuation. It is a free pdf download from the www.rae.es website. It would be an invaluable reference to students of Spanish linguistics as well. The text is filled with interesting "observaciones históricas" which give interesting tidbits on why things are the way they are in modern Spanish.


It is found at:
http://www.rae.es/rae/gestores/gespub000018.nsf/voTodosporId/651DD2E435FC3039C12571F8003AAE85?OpenDocument

Click on the left hand side "Ortografía de la lengua española" and the pdf file will download.

If the lengthy click above doesn't work, try:

http://www.rae.es/RAE/Noticias.nsf/Home?ReadForm

Click on the left on "Consultas linguísticas"

Then, you will have the page on which appears the .pdf file on the left hand side.
