Hello…
I saw that in dutch, to show that a word (like a profession or animal) are female, a sufix is added to the word. I learned some, like:
-e Chinees → Chinese
-es leraar → lerares
-in leeuw → leeuwin
-ster schrijver → schrifster
I wanted to know is there’s a rule for each sufix, and if there’s not, could you please me tell me an online dictionary where I could find the word with ther “females”?
Thank you all again
Good question. Do they?
I hadn’t thought about this issue.
However, according to this site:
… not really.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the site Harpagon…
Besides LingQ, I’m learning dutch from the following sites:
The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Dutch and Dutch culture. Start speaking Dutch in minutes with audio and video lessons, audio dictionary, and learning community!
Learn Dutch grammar: Spelling and pronunciation, verbs, pronouns, nouns and articles, word order, and more. It includes sound files and exercises, and an active forum to post your questions..
And I found these books for download, and they’re being very useful:

DepositFiles provides you with a legitimate technical solution, which enables you to upload, store, access and download text, software, scripts, images, sounds, videos, animations and any other materials in form of one or several electronic files.
But some things are not very explained or they just don’t talk about them, then I go and ask here…
What about you? What resources do you use to learn dutch?
Well,
I think this is a good Dutch dictionary:
Sometimes I check these two websites:
http://www.dutchgrammar.com/ (you mentioned this site as well.)
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Good luck to you.

Yeah, I know BabLa Dictionaries… it’s a really good one.
Two I also look up words sometimes (mainly to check the pronunciation and articles) is http://nl.thefreedictionary.com/ and http://woordenlijst.org/ .
One good source of audio, not only for dutch, is Acapela Box : create your text to speech messages .
Finally, for me http://www.telegraaf.nl/ is the best online newspaper, because its texts aren’t that big to read.
Thank you again
