         El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española - This is a link to a free Spanish

            Language dictionary. It is not only a great tool to find the meaning of words in

            Spanish, in addition, when writing in Spanish you can use it in conjunction with a

            Spanish-English dictionary to confirm that words that you have looked up mean, in

            fact, what you want them to mean. NOTE: this dictionary does not look up

            conjugated verbs (it only does infinitives), nor does it search plural words, nor

            words in feminine forms, i.e. it only gives definitions of  words in their most basic

            forms.
