I am touched by this. When I joined this forum I came along with the strong intention of wanting to learn and improve my Spanish. I have always been a little sceptical of social internet sites, to be honest, and initially stayed away from many of the social posts.

However, as time went by and I realised just how genuinely kind, thoughtful and unbelievably helpful people are on this site, I just couldn't help myself but start to feel quite close (virtually of course lol) to many of the people on here.

I love our diversity of people - this site breaks down all sorts of barriers (cultural, social, religious etc) its amazing!

I am so happy with my Spanish progress - and this is all down to you lot grin Sometimes, I do feel guilty because my English grammar is so bad I don't feel confident helping people with their English. In fact, many of you Spanish native speakers here write better English than me lol.

My next personal goal is to participate more in the Skype Chats. I just need to get myself a better pc.... oh and be available after 11:30pm on a Saturday night. At that time I'm usually either in the pub or fast asleep in bed..... I'm a bit of a lightweight lol.

Thank you again everybody! I'm already looking forward to the 25k mark now grin
