So how many points do you need to write a Reference article? - 0074b507, OCT 6, 2009

5000 points, you're still a few short. - 0074b507, OCT 6, 2009

I will wait for you to include that in the reference article yourself, only 500 to go. - 00494d19, OCT 8, 2009

Thanks Izanoni! You always have informative answers. How do you say "braniac" in Spanish!? - Nicole-B, OCT 8, 2009

Didn't you guys read the sign? It clearly states: "Don't Feed the Ego." - Izanoni1, OCT 8, 2009

...Now where did I put that pin? Gotta go deflate this thing again. ;-P - Izanoni1, OCT 8, 2009

...And whose turn is it to feed the monkeys? - Izanoni1, OCT 8, 2009

so if we all vote up this question how many points will you have then?? - Valerie, OCT 8, 2009

This is now in my Google Bookmarks entitled, "Izanoni's Everything SpanisDict". Thanks Iz! - Goyo, OCT 9, 2009

Great piece of work Izanoni. - ian-hill, OCT 28, 2009

izanoni, Thanks for your present perfect flashcards. The Spanish website has a verb conjugation tool this is true, but I cannot read spanish. - Maria-Russell, ENE 16, 2010

Answer 1

I just updated this list to include pronunciation of Spanish Letters/words. If you were not already aware of these (I wasn't) here are two links to two really good text to speech tools for Spanish.

Answer 2

Wow! This is great! Thank you so much for posting this! I have created a new section within the Reference page for articles just like this: Technical Support. When you get to 5,000 reputation, feel free to simply edit that main page to add links to any other topics you want to include. Things like pronunciation can go in Grammar under the pronunciation section. I can add the ones you mentioned if you like, or you can just wait until you get 5,000 so you can do it yourself. Whichever you prefer.

Hi Paralee. If you think that this would be helpful to others then feel free to add it to the grammar section if you like. - Izanoni1, OCT 9, 2009

Answer 3

Updated to include mountaingirl's great thread on Jerga/modismos

Answer 4

This is just to help keep the posting in the "Hot" list.

Answer 5

How do you post pictures under over your user name? I'm not sure how to explain my self

I believe that you are talking about an avatar (mine is a cat strumming a banjo) If this is what you are talking about then I posted an answer on your original thread - Izanoni1, OCT 28, 2009

Answer 6

I have updated this list to include a link to a thread that gives instructions on how to add various formatting to your post.

Thanks, that's great! - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 7

This is extremely helpful, Izan, thanks a lot, I am keeping the link and I am goign to use it, what is more, I am going to publish this right now on the reference section. Excellent idea.

Thank you Heidita...I am glad that you thought this was useful. - Izanoni1, OCT 9, 2009

Answer 8

Izan, I have posted the reference article in your name, when you reach the 5000 points, we can change that if you wish.

thanks a lot, great thread

Reference article by Izanoni

Hi Heidita...If it is useful to others on this site then that is good enough for me. I am not overly concerned whether the reference article bears your name or my name, but thank you for asking me. - Izanoni1, OCT 9, 2009

Answer 9

Let's see if this will move to the top of the "Hot" category of answers.

Answer 10

We'll have to keep putting answers in every so often to keep it on page one so the rest of us can find it easy too.
