Hola Christopher

Como esta usted?

I am finding this website to be an absolute gem!

Just reading the forums have helped me tremendously!

I find myself constantly using the dictionary, translator and now the verb conjugator too!

If I am unsure how to say a word I just click the speaker next to that word on the dictionary page. Oh, by the way, whoever thought of the double clicking a word to get the definition of that word should be given a raise in pay. That was just sheer Genius!!

I have also just recently discovered the audio page so I cant say much about that yet, but it looks like its going to be of fabulous help as well.

To help myself learn I like to try to translate from English to Spanish (or vice versa) some of the questions I see on the forums, the words from song lyrics, quotes, recipes or news stories that I read on the internet. I also like to read a Spanish website and try to translate it to English. After I have translated, I usually copy/paste the article into the translation page to see how much I got right.

I am beginning to be quite proud of myself when I correctly translate a news article that I've just read on a Spanish website.

Lo siento para escribiendo en Ingles pero necesario mucho tiempo a escribo en Espanol.

Gracias para esta sitio web!! Me amo Spanishdict!

Hi Christopher,

In my opinion SpanishDict has been a GREAT help in improving my Spanish smile.

I've been learning Spanish for about a year with a studybook designed to learn for yourself, i.e. without taking classes. That gave me a solid basis-understanding of Spanish but didn't give me any of the conversational skills that one needs to be able to actually use the language. Starting with the audio-section and moving on to online chatting with other members and keeping an eye on the grammar forum at the same time brought me those skills.

Some friends who have been learning Spanish with "just" classes are amazed at my quick progress, especially considering the fact that I only spend an average of 3 or 4 hours a week on SpanishDict and maybe an additional hour listening to Spanish music. They spend about 10 hours a week studying from books and going to classes without ever having the courage and confidence to practise their Spanish in real life. I have a much better understanding of the language and can manage Spanish beyond the texts and excersizes from the textbooks where they can't. Some "hispanohablantes" I have to communicate with on a more or less regular (professional) basis have complemented me on my progress aswell!

Last but not least I really enjoy chatting or intercambio for it helps both parties and is a failsafe way of having a couple of good laughs wink as a result of my own mistakes or those of my chatting partner.

I've recommended SpanishDict to a couple of my friends so they can enjoy it aswell.

Thanks for founding this great site!

Atentamente, ChicaSabrosa

Love it and use it frequently with thanks. One improvement however would be to indicate the gender of the Spanish noun when translated from English.

Hi Mz
I sympathise with you as it must be very difficult to search for written words. The feature you mention may not be around now due to modifications which are carried out on the site from time to time.

I love this site! I use it daily to look up words and I especially liked the old feature (which I can't seem to see much of these days) where you got 10 (or more) suggestions from the forums on how a particular word could be used.
I am dyslexic and looking things up in an ordinary dictionary is hard work, though I do keep one in my handbag at all times and use it frequently. I find that for me it is much easier to type in a word than to find the one I want amongst many others..... know what I mean? Especially with the suggested words feature. And to be able to double check your self by clicking on the possible translations, it saves me a lot of time.
Then to have all these knowledgeable people to ask when I still get stuck is fab!

Estoy de acuerdo con Rob Lynn. Aquí, he aprendido mucho y me gusta asistir al foro cada vez más. El problema mayor que tengo es Heidita. Ella es muy exigente. Gracias a Dios que esta en vacaciones. En serio, uso más la conjugación y el diccionario.

Donde vivo, no puedo practicar mucho porque mi ciudad no tiene muchos hispanoparlantes. Aquí, puedo practicar por leyendo, escribiendo, y tratando de ayudar otros. ¡Creo que he aprendido más aquí que en clase!

Where I live, I can't practice much because my city doesn't have many Spanish speakers. Here, I can practice by reading, writing, and trying to help others. I think that I have learned more here than in class!

It's wonderful to have access to so many knowledgeable people here, who are so generous with their time in helping others. I have already learned a lot in the few months I have been a member, and hope to continue learning in the future. And I've made some new virtual friends, to boot!

Hola, Spanishdict me ha ayudado de manera sorprendente no solo a prácticar inglés, sino que, aun siendo hispanoparlante he ampliado mucho más mi nivel de español en un intento por acercarme a los verdaderos expertos con que aquí contamos.
Personalmente me gusta participar en los foros, dar y recibir correcciones.
También me agrada mucho la comunicación que hay y el acrcamiento de las personas encargadas del foro y los administradores con todos los miembros, muestran una gran preocupación por su buen funcionamiento y eso nos hace permanecer aquí.
Gracias por todo!
