Question

Kiwi-Girl

? ???? Kiwi-Girl has reached the major milestone -100K!!!! ? ????

Our own All-Black New Zealand Lovely has reached for the stars and touched them. Her links are always the best with lessons that anyone can understand and she willingly shares her knowledge with all her SD friends on SD. Since 2010 we've seen her bound endlessly into all kinds of threads, games and answers for us. And she is always here ready with an encouraging kind word to spur other learners ahead. Thanks for being such a stellar member and contributor for so many years. I know I've learned a lot from you and many others have benefitted as well. Keep growing and going on to 200K! Here is a lovely photograph, the haka, and some special treats for you along with heartfelt congratulations for you, dear girl. It's been fun learning alongside you with all your humor and spunk. So very few reach this mark. Well done, Marie-Claire, and we all love you. And, of course, her website is a winner:

I think this is when you get to finally take on SD Queen status according to this post: How to Become a Forum Queen/King...jejeje

Splendid Katy , I am sure Kiwi-girl will love it !! - shish75, Apr 26, 2013

Such a good post, Katy, as always... - jessicamccall117, Apr 26, 2013

Great post, Katy, and you're totally right!! - mcl020, Apr 26, 2013

Katy you did a fantastic job with this post, she is going to love it. - pmikan-pam, Apr 26, 2013

Wow, Katy, thank you so much for such a lovely post, and all the trouble you took with the pics and all, it's all a little overwhelming, I'm just happy to be here and to be helping when I can. Thanks so much! - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 28, 2013

Answer 1

Well, goodness, it doesn't happen very often but, yes, I'm left a little speechless!

Thank you so much everyone - thank you Katy for being so kind and thoughtful to start this thread and to everyone who posted such kind words, thank you so much, I'm really quite humbled.

If I have been able to help anyone along the way in their journey to learn Spanish, then I'm very happy to have been able to do so. But I have to say that this site with such great participants (that's you guys) has been such a great help to me. All of your questions have provided me with great motivation to research things and come to grips with Spanish grammar, something that I (strangely enough) love, well enough to be able to (hopefully) explain it.

So thanks to you guys and to the great lay out of such a user friendly site - it's been a great combination! So let's all keep up the good work and enjoy learning and sharing what we know with each other.

We're fortunate to have you around. You crack me up when I ask a question and I get a research project back. And it's always so helpful. Nice gift you have. - katydew, Apr 28, 2013

Answer 2

Hey Kiwi you a champion aye

!

But seriously Kiwi you are the most prolific producer of quality

questions, answers and posts in the history of SD.

Not satisfied with helping us all out and providing a myriad of

links to point us in the right direction, you have started your own

teaching site to help those who may have fallen off the perch.

I am proud to have known you and benefited from your teaching

and friendship ,I shall never forget the support you gave me

when I was going through a bad patch , a friend indeed .

I know that you are also " drop dead gorgeous"

which in no way coloured my high opinion of you ( but it helped ).

So congratulations dear friend , stay well for the next 100 K.

Lovely post, Ray. She's a winner all around. - katydew, Apr 26, 2013

Thank you so much Ray, those are very kind words and I'm happy to have see you make great progress with your Spanish, I'm sure you haven't fallen off the perch at all, so keep up the good work! :) - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 28, 2013
