First, I would have to say the people. No one is rude or obnoxious on here. Everyone is very helpful and intelligent. Second, the lessons are top notch. One thing you can never discount though, is the fact that it is free.

Sounds like a nice website. Which one it is? I like to visit it? - 0074b507, May 28, 2010

I always loved this site, from the first time I saw it. I had to get in line and learn the rules and stuff like that, but I love it. I think what makes it great is first and formost, it's a free, high quality site. You can begin to become fluent in spanish all over the web, but the sites generally suck. Here you have feedback. Plus it's free. Then you have all kinds of people from all kinds of different backgrounds, from all over the world, with different levels of background talking, feeding back, etc. You can't beat that. Plus it's free. How can you beat that? If you have out long enough you'll get to be part of the group, and you'll really love it when we go off on wild tangents talking about all kinds of crazy things...it's just a worth while place to be. Pull up a seat...wink

E) Todos~ The people are great, it's free, and just a great place to learn Spanish, so I'd agree with everyone on that. (And of course, if you're on a quest for all the badges, it can give you motivation to study~).

I can't add much to what everyone has written. This is a great site. I especially love the fact that you can communicate with people all over the globe..all of us sharing the same goal.

Sappy but true. wink Gracias Todos

Thanks everyone for your agreement!

I think one consequence of having a learning site that is used and formed by multiple users from across the globe is that it creates a truly RELATIONAL learning space... I really think this is a huge advance in understanding learning and teaching practices. I mean, removed from the textbook, here we can look at how vocabulary, grammar rules, or pronunciation differs from place to place, and from one group to the next. It incorporates a vast degree of DIFFERENCE into the learning process, which I really think is crucial.

I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful experiment. I think we are the avant-garde of language-learning! :D :D

adios!

The dictionary is the best on the web that I've found, giving an example phrase for every different meaning of a word. I really like the video lessons as well. They were well scripted.

Everything about it is great. The fun point system makes it addicting.

En los otros foros en vez de administradores y moderadores, hay dictadores, villanos, puristas, tiranos y todo lo que se le parezca. Acá es algo como Spanishland!

This site would never be what it is without a fantastic "guard dog"...Heidita. The simple fact that we can communicate with a human being, not an automated responder, is a 100 percent plus.

I would definitely think that the Span¡shD!ct site is 'e' because it's awesome.

Pensaría definitivamente que el Espacio¡shD! sitio de ct es "E" porque es impresionante. smile

Tiene tanto éxito porque es de lo menos acartonado, conservador, tradicionalista, rígido, aburrido... que se puede encontrar en la red.
