Kiwi has earned an impressive 920 Badges, and 50k Learning Points!

And created numerous fun challenges and practice games on "False Friends", "Subjunctive", "Preterite / Imperfect", "Por / Para", in abundance.

More recently, Kiwi has given us threads on pronunciation practice for English and Spanish.

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to comment here - your comments and encouragement are much appreciated. I have found this to be an awesome site for learning Spanish and I have enjoyed sharing the little that I know nearly as much as I've appreciated seeing how much you all know and taking in what I can along the way je je! Once again thank you all so much whether it's your questions that make me think, your answers that help me learn or you knowledge that I haven't yet quite absorbed but that keeps me coming back for more. I hope to be around for a while to come!
