Feature Suggestion:
[size=3][/size][color=purple][/color]
There is one thing I would LOVE to see added to this website: A Testing Feature!
I would really advantage from having the opportunity to test how well I am retaining the information I am learning. I think cumulative tests of all the things learned in each section would be great! For example, a test for all of "Learn Spanish 1", another for all of "Learn Spanish 2", and another for the two sections mixed together, etc. And the questions should be mixed up instead of the order we learned it. If we could keep taking a different version of these tests, that would be wonderful.
I understand that some people do not test well, so these tests should not be required to move on to the next lesson. I just know that this would be a tremendous way for me to learn, and feel more confident in what I have learned. It may be beneficial for others, as well.
Thank you so much for the tremendous help you have provided so far, as well as the willingness to try to do more!

Ok, I will try, but no promises. I think it will be about a week or so to make the first test prototype.
I would be happy to give it a try I guess... any suggestions before I start? And where should I post it? Just fyi... I just now finished studying "Learn Spanish 1"
Well then, you're in a better position than most of us. I'd have to start over and review all the lessons. You can create questions and examples as you do the lessons since you are just starting them.
As to where to post them, I would suggest the proofreading category. I would use the Write section as a guideline for examples that represent the grammatical purpose of the lesson.
I'm also willing to bet by the time that you have created the Quiz you will no longer need the refresher yourself, so let me thank you beforehand, for those of us that will benefit from your review work.
Another suggestion: When you create a quiz question make sure you somehow link or display which lesson topic that it covers, so if the person misses the question they will know where to look for the correct answer.
Buena suerte.
This is a very good idea! And before the website update was announced I was wanting to suggest the first member not admin to reach 10,000 posts be granted the administrator title but that is going to kinda happen with the website update, well not the 10,000 posts part atleast!

The greatest test of how well you retain and understand the material is incorporating the objectives of the lessons into your future writing and conversation.
As for creating a test-go ahead. What's stopping you from creating one? Post it for review so we can help you to polish it. If enough members like it, I'm sure that
it will be retained. This is not the first time that I have seen this feature proposed, however. It may be a case of waiting for [color=red]someone else** to do it.
