Answer 1

Gracias a todos por sus palabras tan amables. Estoy muy agradecido por todos los recursos en este sitio y otros sitios en la red, y por todos los que me han ayudado a aprender. Como algunos saben, he aprendido todo lo que sé por internet y de unos pocos libros. Estos 5 millones de puntos simplemente reflejan uno de los recursos que he usado. Pero el más importante siempre será la gente que ha corregido mis errores y que ha respondido a mis preguntas (y las de otros que he leído).

Thanks everyone for you very kind words. I am very grateful for all the resources on this site and other sites on the web, and for all those that have helped me to learn. As some know, I have learned everything that I know from the internet and a few books. Those 5 million points simply reflect one of the resources I have used. But the most important will always be the people who have corrected my mistakes and that have answered my questions (and those of others that I have read).

A wonderful milestone achieved - thanks again for all you do here on SD ! - - Esteban_317, Dec 5, 2016

Well that is worth a badge. - ray76, Dec 6, 2016

Any hispanohablante that answers questions and/or makes corrections is a legend on SD in my book. - Sassette, Dec 6, 2016

Wow! Congratulations!!! Your accomplishments are incentives for everyone on Spanishdict! - 2wired, Dec 19, 2016

Answer 2

Congratulations, Bosque, that is truly remarkable.

Hats off to you.

Love the illustration as Bosque deserves "hats off" not only for his Five Million points in flashcards, but also for his great work in the forum (Reputation and 3400 Basdges: - ). ... - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

Thanks, JRSchenk. I really miss seeing you around here as much. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 4, 2016

You've probably been working at an ad agency, JR. lol - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 3

That's a heap o' learnin'!

Thanks, Ann. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 4, 2016

It sure is a heap of learning! (Thanks Ann: - ) ... - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

That's no fair that I see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise in stores (including women's pj bottoms) and no Smurfs. - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

Sounds like a merchandising opportunity for someone. - AnnRon, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 4

Congratulations Bosque.

You have danced into the lead faster than anyone else mate , how you do it is

a mystery , but it is no mystery how or why you have danced into our hearts

here on SD , and like a skilful bullfighter you have memorised and entertained us.

You are a very colourful character and have provided a lot of colour

to us all on SD along with invaluable help and encouragement , it is no surprise

to learn that I am your largest fan . Well done mate and "legend" .

Thanks, Ray. I was a little worried when you disappeared for a few days. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 5, 2016

I needed to go bush to get back to reality and the things that really matter in life , now I am rejuvenated , thanks mate. - ray76, Dec 5, 2016

The "Wizard of Oz" keeps his own schedulte and counsel and remains a bit of a mystery. Another of your classic posts. - Esteban_317, Dec 5, 2016

Have a badge amigo. :) - rac1, Dec 5, 2016

Thanks Amber I need a few badges . - ray76, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 5

Has realizado muchas tareas en este sitio web. Eres la razón por qué SpanishDict.com es el mejor lugar para aprender español (y una excelente lugar para aprender inglés también).

You have taken on many tasks on this website. You are the reason why SpanishDict.com is the best place to learn Spanish (and an excelent place to learn English too).

Thanks for your many thoughful posts, for helping answer questions, and for supporting my work. If I can get my hands on an English and Spanish version of the "Blank Slate" (La Tabla rasa) I'd love to read it

Remind me the Blank Slate reference. If you refer to the book by Steven Pinker, I have it on a pdf. But only in English. Plus any library would have it. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 5, 2016

Yes I am referring to that book. There is a library rather far away that has it. I'll ask my home library if they can order it. They have somne of his other books. - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

It may be difficult to find a Spanish version. I can ask my home library about it but if they can get the English version I doubt they would order the Spanish version too. - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

Well said Sasette , your words go right to the nub of things and are so true, thank you . - ray76, Dec 5, 2016

Well Said Sasette! - - Esteban_317, Dec 5, 2016

Thanks Ray and Esteban. :) Bosque is definitely a role model for me...not just as a partipcant but as a human being...and I'm sure that's true for many others on SD. - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

:) - ian-hill, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 6

Hola, Bosque:

Güau! ¡A que quisieras que esos 5.000.000 puntos fuereron $5,000,000 de dólares!

Aquí en SD, eres nuestro "científico en residencia." Me acuerdo de que he hecho esta comparación antes, pero todavía me gusta visualiarte como mi científico más preferido de todo el mundo. El Dr. Michio Kaku.

¡Enhorabuena y disfruta el logro de este día! ??

Here's a little flamenco dance for you.

Dr. Kaku says that he was inspired to become a scientist after becoming a "Trekkie." - Daniela2041, Dec 4, 2016

Don't know so much about science, but I was inspired to go to a dance tonight. ¡Gracias, Daniela! - - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

Thank you Daniela, my knowledge of Physics is far less than Dr. Kaku. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 4, 2016

Answer 7

You are so appreciated here by all of us. Always going above and beyond to help a member out. You do a wonderful job with the newbies too. You make them feel welcome. I know when you answer someone you give it all you got.

This is an awesome achievement that I know I will never be able to match. Your Spanish just gets better and beter! Thank you for being such a positive example here at SD.

Thanks for the A.- #1 Post. You hit the nail on the head perfectly with your post! - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

Gracias amigo. :) - rac1, Dec 4, 2016

De nada amigo. :) - rac1, Dec 4, 2016

Answer 8

Wow! that is the fastest 5 million in the history of SD.

I remember what it took me to get the first million points.

Muy bien hecho amigo.

Many thanks for all the help you give here on a regular basis - it is much appreciated.

Thanks Ian - Bosque is a Triple Crown Winner like yourself ! Leader in learning Points, Reputation and Badges! ! ! - - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

Thanks, Ian. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 4, 2016

Nice to see you around. I hope you're doing well, Sir Ian. - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

I#'m doing ok Sassy xx :) - ian-hill, Dec 5, 2016

Glad to hear it. I get a little worried knowing what you have been through. :) - Sassette, Dec 5, 2016

Voy a sobrevivir amiga. xx - ian-hill, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 9

Congratulations ! I highly appreciate your work and I read always with pleasure your posts.

Thanks, Porcupine, for another of your classic tributes! (I too enjoy his posts: - ) ... - Esteban_317, Dec 4, 2016

Gracias Porcupine. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 4, 2016

Answer 10

¡Saludo!

@bosquederoble - Although, you reached 5 million learning points 8 weeks ago. Congratulations! That was the same time I reached 2 million learning points. That's alright if you dethroned me on Student of the Week because there will be times I won't be able play, ie. chores, errands, etc.

@Esteban317 - Thank you for the message. It took me 7 weeks to reach another milestone & moving to the 5th position due to: baseball playoff last month, falling back to 1 hour for Daylight Standard Time, the election that Donald Trump won & Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Although, I have been playing here for 8 months consistently, I will be slowing down a bit because it's addicting & I have to organize my data. I've been learning Peninsular Spanish (from Spain) through British English (from Britain). My focus next year will be American Spanish from Argentina & Mexico.

¡Atentamente!

Congrats mate on your 2 million, if you would like a congrats post for this ( you deserve one) please P M me , thanks mate. - ray76, Dec 5, 2016

You have reached #5 all time in record time. Your remarkable efforts have spurred a couple of us to renew our attention to the learning points and "flip over flashcards" again. - Esteban_317, Dec 5, 2016

Thanks, I suspect that within 6 months you will have surpassed me. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 5, 2016

Answer 11

¡Hurra!

Gracias por siempre ayudar.

Yes - He's great! Thanks for joing in our celebration. :-) ... - Esteban_317, Dec 5, 2016

Thanks, Keziah. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 6, 2016

Have a badge mate. - ray76, Dec 6, 2016

Answer 12
