Jealous of those with high Discussion participation?
Would you like your Discussion count to look like you're one of the old timers here? I have a simple suggestion. Go to the Lesson Submission section:
([url=http://my.spanishdict.com/forum/topic/listForCategory'categoryId=1710195%3ACategory%3A247150]LessonSubmission[/url]) and help review the Write submissions for the lessons. (The Speak submissions rarely function correctly). If you have some Spanish knowledge or just wish to improve your own understanding by correcting others, give it a try. Since many are submitted without error a simple "Good Job" comment will earn you a Discussion point. It's simple to answer 40 or 50 Discussions in an hour. Help those who didn't understand the exercise and rack up Discussion points at the same time.

Hi Quentin, that is not only a good idea but a geat help. Do have a look at the lessons, if your level is decent , many people need help but not all can be attended to.
Ok! I'm giving it a try. Thanks for the tip. Only problem is that the discussions don't get as lively there as they sometimes do here 
For the one's that don't need any correction I just leave a smiley so they know that someone has looked at their answer. (and I get a Discussion point!)
Thanks for pointing this out Quentin. I'm fairly new to the forum and never thought about it.
Well, Quentin, you are getting decently close to the 1000 mark. 
And your comments are always helpful!
(There, I got myself another point, ha ha.)
Quentin, the pronunciation of "fabuloso" from that Smiley is pretty bad. The first A is closer than normal, the U is pronounced with a sound that doesn't exist in Spanish, and the last O is not even clear.
What do you expect from a toy? Voice engines aren't any better than machine translators. I switched to a non-audio smiley anyway.

Those are different points. I only have 850 Discussion points (look on your My Page), but I'm going to work on that total right now.
