Question

? ? ???4M??? Esteban_317 hits the 4,000,000 mark in learning points! ?? ?? ?

Not just a flash in the pan, this learning points powerhouse is & has been the Student of the Week nearly every week for as long as I can remember. Watch out Swampy, he's on your heels!

? ? ???? ? ???? ? ???? ? ???

We all enjoy his clever antics on threads, creative posts and friendly comments. If he's ever done a congratulatory thread for you, you know it is top notch! Such a friend. Now we celebrate his achievement of tucking in as much learning and vocabulary as a mind can take. Bien hecho, amigo! May these many words translate into clever Castellano conversation conqueration. (I made that one up... it rhymed). Onward and upward. No puede ser solo palabrería, pero verdadera charla con personas interesantes. And may your relationships with new Spanish-speaking friends be sweet and your words eloquent and adequate for the moment.

Let's give him a hand!

Well done!

Press on!

¡Maravilloso! :) - rac1, Mar 16, 2015

Answer 2

4,000,000 is a lot of points- I think it was somewhere in the 3,700,000 range that you passed me up. I see you on many of the ones I do anymore. And often enough with scores better than I can get. It is nice to see someone else still making use of that resource here. Well done.

And thank you as well, for contributing to the game threads, I am always pleased when I see you participate, and always enjoy seeing your ideas.

I love the images. ;o) Good words. Yes, I usually look at your profile page or Esteban's to get a lead on flashcard sets. ;o) - katydew, Mar 16, 2015

Thanks Bosque - especially for being both a worthy adversary, and friend ! - - Esteban_317, Mar 16, 2015

Ah, but I had to work on cleaning the garage on Saturday. ;) - bosquederoble, Mar 17, 2015

Answer 8

Muy bien hecho amigo.

That is an awful lot of points.

I remember getting the first 1,000,000 on here - I did that in part to see what would happen when the count went past 999,999. I was hoping the programmer had forgotten to take that eventuality into account.

I'm like that

4 million is way more than I feel like doing.

I keep looking at the points I've had and wonder how in the world someone can do all that hard work. - katydew, Mar 16, 2015

Thanks Ian ! Guess I've found my niche for now . . . You certainly have my respect for all you do here. - - Esteban_317, Mar 17, 2015
