Your closing words: “Hope you enjoy the site.” …and I sure do! very much:-) “See you [not only] soon,” but often. Probably even after I have learned, if not yet mastered, the language.

QUIERO HACER LLEGAR MI AGRADECIMIENTO A QUIEN O QUIENES HACEN POSIBLE QUE ESTA PAGINA NOS AYUDE EN EL PROCESO DE APRENDIZAJE TANTO PARA LOS LATINOS Q APRENDEMOS INGLES COMO A LOS AMERICANOS Q QUIERES APRENDER ESPANOL.
PERMITANME SUGERIR SOLO UNA COSITA, HE VISTO Q CUANDO EL INTERESADO EN APRENDER INGLES BUSCA EL SIGNIFICADO DE ALGUN VERBO, EN ESPANOL, LA PAGINA NO SOLO LANZA EL SIGNIFICADO ,SI NO TAMBIEN ,LAS CONJUGACIONES Q ESTA TIENE, TANTO EN PASADO, PRESENTE, FUTURO, ETC.
BUENO, ME ATREVO A SUGERIRLES Q ESTO ME TODO TAMBIEN SERIA MUY UTIL PARA PERSONAS COMO YO QUE DESEAMOS TENER LA MISMA FACILIDAD DE VER EN UN SOLO TABLERO LAS CONJUGACIONES DE LOS VERBOS EN INGLES EN SUS DIFERENTES TIEMPOS.
GRACIAS
SALUDOS.

This site is an invaluable resource for spanish homework. I used to use freetranslation as a dictionary, but there were no multiple translations and I had to input the exact accents and stuff. This is useful!

I am fairly advanced in Spanish, but I find it invaluable and so enjoyable, especially the opportunity to connect via chat and videochat with people all over the world.
It is a wonderful resource for practicing Spanish, receiving authentic feedback, and also helping others.
I recommend it whenever I find people wanting to learn Spanish.

I love SpanishDict.com! The one searchbox is incredibly fast and easy to use.

I especially like using and hearing the pronounciation of the word. Very useful tool when trying to pronouce certain words.

I am incredibly impressed with this site! Selecting the right word is easy when I am given definitions and idioms in English and Spanish when searching for a single-word translation. I also love that you do no need to select the language of origin when entering a word! What a time saver, because I love to look it up in both directions.
I also love your phrase/multi-sentence translation search. Having 3 different sources helps perfect this imperfect science.
I wanted to say thank you so much for all of the improvements that have taken place and I will definitely use this site in the future.
