A freind of mine from Ecuador said it is señal but my spanish teacher who is from Puerto Rico says that is used only for a car blinker and that the real word is cartel. Now babelfish translates it as muestra. Could you please explain what the proper words for sign are and their proper context? Gracias

One of the greatest challanges for me as a non-native English speaker has been distinguishing between these two sounds both when listening and speaking. I know there is a difference in length (which is not always easy to notice in normal-speed conversation), and as I understand there is a difference in quality - the two vowels actually sound different, apart from the length. Any tips please? And don't tell me it's always possible to understand from context, because it isn't (e.g. That sheep/ship is moving too fast).

For all the people who suggested translation sites: They can be very helpful, but they often mistranslate. That's because words often have several meanings. For example, someone who translated for me used the word "lata" for can, as in "change the things I can". But "lata" is the word for a can, like a tin can. Don't trust the translation sites too much if it really needs to be correct.

Ainsi, croire est plus facile que penser, ce qui est l'opposé des définitions proposées, lequelles me paraissent judicieuses.

(1) What does "ce qui" refer to?
(2) What does the whole sentence mean?

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Thank you very much.
