DO NOT use the translator!! ¡No usar el traductor!
**Work must be done by yourself.
This thread is about YOUR ability not the ability of the translator.

This thread is kindly moderated by Heidita. Please correct your posts according to Heidita’s indications and suggestions, and of course use the corrections to learn from your errors! 
.
Post your sentences in Spanish and English, then vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen based on number of votes and language correctness.
Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
• Captions with 3 words or less
• Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
• Posts which cannot be understood after they are read three or four times
• Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
• Captions copied directly from books or other sources.
• Multiple posts from one person, or those who don't write the sentences in both English and Spanish.
Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish
Please refrain from overloading with graphic content (ie; bold smileys, etc). It makes it harder for the correctors to be able to read your posts…. )
An upcoming exciting change is soon, the sentence that the winner of the Palabra del Día posts will be used as the example sentence, which is posted on the site, and on Facebook, e-mail, etc. Therefore, a few changes need to be made in order to create sentences that will make sense for this:
Only add ONE picture to your post,
Your sentence MUST be comprehensible without the picture!
This is actually an exciting change, and I know this will be a little more challenging, but it is great that SpanishDict is going to trust us with creating the sample sentence
