First off, I do know the meanings of each word. I'm just always a little confused about when to use cuál and not qué in a question and vice versa. Do you have any rules to help me remember? Because it's really not just a translation of when you would use "which" or "what" in English...unless I've been using "which" and "what" wrong my whole life.
For example, when learning Spanish, they tell us that "cuál" is for when you have a choice, when there are a fixed set of options. However, you would say "¿De qué parte de España eres?" and not "¿De cuál parte eres?" so the rule doesn't seem to hold... it seems that there are only a fixed amount of parts of Spain, bue you don't say cuál...
This is something that still confuses me, and I'm pretty sure that most of the times I have ever used cuál, I've been wrong :)
Also, again, I do know the meanings of each in English, but thanks.
