Thanks, Franco..this is great!! - rac1, Dec 28, 2012

Great job Franco. - pmikan-pam, Dec 28, 2012

Espero que sepas tanto lo agradecemos. Que tengas una buena noche. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Muchísimas gracias Franco. No solo por este mesaje, pero más por los muchos otros mesajes y ayuda. Nosotros ayudas muchísimo. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Well done, Francobollo. :) - iana01, Jan 2, 2013

Guys... we are here to help as much as we can. It's a real honor to spread the word about Spanish and you guys are such dedicated students. Thank you! - francobollo, Jan 6, 2013

Answer 1

Well, you all are too kind. You guys are the ones that pretty much hand out the points, whereas I just keep plugging away and learning from all of you, so thanks to you all collectively. I learn lot both from the experienced people here, and my co-newbies alike. I wish I knew enough to contribute and give more back, but that will take some time yet.

He estado estudiando más o menos un año, y a veces, me parece que no sé nada. Pero sabría mucho menos sin ustedes, y por tanto me gustaría agradecer a todos.
Me sorprende tanto paciencia hay aquí en este sitio. Gracias. Hasta ahora, ha estado un placer hablar y aprender con ustedes, y espero más de lo mismo en el año que viene. Que tengan un feliz año nuevo. . Roger.

Roger... Es un verdadero privilegio contar con un compañero de SD como tú. Tus preguntas son excelentes, asi como tu participación en el foro. ¡Mil gracias! - francobollo, Dec 28, 2012

God, you americans you will keep saying ' you all' when you should say ' all of you' . I had to give up on Paralee for this reason.. - annierats, Dec 29, 2012

Annie, we also say y'all and yous guys... lol - francobollo, Dec 29, 2012

Yes, **we all** will keep saying that that ;) - rogspax, Dec 30, 2012

This just in: Tamales up for the order. - SaigeSmith, Dec 31, 2012

Thanks. You may have just moved me from being on the verge of going out to get breakfast tacos, to all the way there. - rogspax, Dec 31, 2012

Answer 2

Congratulation amigo!! What an asset to our SD site!! I'm here to cheer you on!!!

rac, brilliant choice of photo! - annierats, Dec 28, 2012

Gracias, amiga! - rac1, Dec 28, 2012

I like your new photo Rac! - 002262dd, Dec 28, 2012

Wait, I don't remember having that picture taken! - JoyceM, Dec 28, 2012

You are all hilarious. Thanks to Rac. Her above photo and current profile pic are very easy on the eyes. Who is that short haired girl anyway? - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Lol. Gracias mis amigos! - rac1, Dec 29, 2012

Answer 3

¡Enhorabuena, rogspax!

Bien merecidos. It's a pleasure to read your contributions.

Thank You too. Always appreciate you patient natives letting me butcher the language and even correcting me while I learn. Now I need to go look up merecidos :) - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

merecidos--- well deserved! - francobollo, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 4

Congratulations, Rog, for reaching 10K already. You have come a long way ..... Here's a picture to remind you of how it all started way back then .....

Thanks MC. Ironically, back then (be that last year, or more like several decades ago) I didn´t like naps and was forced to take them every darn day. Nowadays, the seem pretty attractive.. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 5

¡Seguir adelante! Drive on! Keep going!

Wow. That's so vivid! - SaigeSmith, Dec 28, 2012

Lol!! - rac1, Dec 28, 2012

Ha, So perfect. Besides having a Moto in it, it accurately depicts how I feel as I struggle to learn faster than my friends´expectations. Cant let up! Tack Mycket! (I only had 1.5 semesters of Swedish, 20 years ago and so don´t remember much) - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Bravo! - annierats, Dec 29, 2012

Answer 6

Congrats amigo! You've crossed that first milestone and we look forward to working with you for the next up! Hopefully you enjoy my cheesy custom graphic jeje...

Thank You DJ. I¨m looking forward to it too. And yes, I like the graphic. I assume that represents a sabertoothed imperfect2 subjunctive verb on it´s way to devour my tired, verb-addled brain. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

I think we all battle a subjunctive sabertooth daily. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 7

I love that you never give up, and you keep encouraging all of this in our learning endeavor. You are an inspiration to me, and it would be so easy for any one of us to give up, so we are thankful and blessed to have people cheering us on every step of the way. Congratulations! Way to go!

Ha. And thanks. I´m not the natural best at this stuff, but I am willing to work hard.. You´re right, we all need the encouragement sometimes, so thank you for providing that, and many valuable posts. Salud. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Wow, muchas gracias Rogspax! - pmikan-pam, Jan 2, 2013

Answer 8

¡Felicitaciones para alcanzar 10 mil!

Congrats on reaching 10 thousand!

Thanks Rich. Much appreciated. You look like you´re well on the way yourself, so let´s keep at it. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Gracias, amigo. - RichSean1725, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 9

Rogspax! Wow! You reached that one with great velocity! I learn all my car, truck and motorcycle vocabulary from your posts (& anything else with wheels). Well done in racing to 10,000 points so quickly. Glad you are going and growing in SD.

Thanks, I started off very slow, but between semesters, I´m lucky (or perhaps fiscally irresponsible enough) to be able to throw a lot of time at this, and feel like I´m picking up a little speed (but never enough). Thanks for your great post! - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

I have a Ducati myself (though not as nice as that one) so it´s very fitting. Thanks again! - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 10

Wow. I would have guessed that you had been here a lot longer by your intense activity. Keep up the great work and participation. Congratulations.

Thanks gringo. Well, my participation is a bit on and off, so it took a while. During the two breaks this year, I was hear a lot. During the semesters, I used relevant grammar and flashcards more, to support whatever we were doing in class. Thanks again - rogspax, Dec 29, 2012

Answer 11

Way to go! I read your posts often and hope to keep doing so.

Thanks Kirk. Likewise. We´re all in this together. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 12

Congratulations rogspax on this great achievment , you win the race of the 10k with the best time . keep up the hard work.

Congratulation Rogspax

Thanks much Shish. Not as fast as Mr Pedrosa, nor as accomplished of a speaker, but I´m going to keep working on both. Thanks again! - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012

You are welcome rogspax .. hope to see you winning the 25k race soon !:). - shish75, Dec 28, 2012

Answer 13

¡Bien hecho, amigo!

Thanks much, to you and all. - rogspax, Dec 30, 2012

Answer 14

Hey! ¡Felicidades!

Thanks Mariana. - rogspax, Dec 30, 2012

Answer 15

Rog - you're just "cruisin'" on up in the rep scores! Love all your posts - I have learned a lot. Great job!

Thanks Noetol. I so often feel lost here, that´s it´s hard for me to picture others learning from me rather than only the other way around, so, thanks much for the encouragement along the way. - rogspax, Dec 28, 2012
