Gratitude Island: the place to come to give thanks
From time to time, we are flooded with gratitude for Spanishdict.com, the moderators, the supportive learning environment here, our friends, the Saturday night Skype chats, the flash cards, video lessons, etc.
We have Encouragement Island for when we need encouragement, but how about a place to come to say "thank you!"
This is the place you can take those good feelings: Gratitude Island.
In your Spanish learning experience, what are you grateful for today? Bring it here and place it on our altar on the beach...

Let's hear it for the watchful eyes of the moderators!!! They do a thankless job, but it's the job that keeps this place going!

My high school Spanish class was taught the old-fashioned way: motivation through fear.

With SpanishDict's great group of motivated students and teachers, the new way of learning has been productive and fun!
I owe a debt of gratitude to everybody who conceived and built this website such as Christopher, Paralee, Martha, Jeremy, and of course some of the users -- like those you can find on "More / Users" and flip through about 6 or 7 pages... ![]()
Heidita and our corrected thread moderators deserve my special thanks (because only they can send me to the dunce corner - jeje
)

I just wanted to express my appreciation to all of the moderators,mis amigos in the forum,and the administrators who make this site possible. It's easy to complain and forget what a valuable thing S.D. is . Muchas gracias my fellow forum members!

Edit: I added a link to the video, for the youngsters who missed that part of music history.
It's actually a lot worse than I remember. Yech!! ![]()
I'll say a big "Thank you" to all of the wonderful SpanishDict members who make this such a great place to be.

Thank you so much everyone. There are so many people that have helped me here. Thank you to our wonderful moderators and for the lessons and all the people who help everyday with the answers and with our practice. I am very grateful. ![]()
Personalty l'm grateful for every single friend l had on this wonderful site and community, So many names to mention, but the most important name l can remember is Heidita! ![]()

It's funny, I was just thinking about this. I just finished chatting with my new friend, Maria, and she commented that I speak well for someone who has never had a class or a teacher.
But in fact, SpanishDict has provided me with an army of teachers! I don't think I would have made it this far if it weren't for the knowledge, the humor, the patience and the friendship that I have found here.
So....thank you for the opportunity to say thank you!
Gratitude Island - Joyce what a good idea - but it might have to be the "Gratitude Archipelago" - I seriously think there won't be enough room on one island for all our gratitude ![]()
A sincere word of thanks is nothing but an extension of a generous self. ![]()

One of my favorites: Word of the Day. Thank you to all of the moderators of the English Word of the Day and Spanish La Palabra del Día.
A special shout out to IndianaChris, drvincente and Marshall-Hen. And, everyone who has ever moderated or posted on these threads.

I'm thankful for all of the laughter shared as we learn in this forum. ![]()

I must participate in this . Thank you .Muchas Gracias todos. Thank you all very much. I'll be back in a day or two ,to thank you again. Gracias . I would have given up learning Spanish by now if wasn't for all the wonderful people here.

To Heidi, Ian, Chris, Vicente, etc etc etc.
Sorry, I have a problem with names but thanks to you all for helping me gain a bit more confidence in spoken Spanish. I passed the course, and I got a B for the oral which was the bit I thought I might fail on.
