  • Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.)
  • Have fun experimenting with Spanish!

My examples

1: Me fascina el arte de Picasso.

Picasso's art fascinates me. / I adore Picasso's art.

Beautiful picture! I think there is a small typo, "fanscinante" should be "fascinante ". - bandit51jd, Mar 7, 2012
is it 'puede ser' or 'pueden'? (since it's plural) - racoonka, Mar 7, 2012
I think you're right, Racoonka. - Leatha, Mar 7, 2012

I was so fascinated by all the art at the Louvre that I ran the battery out on the headphones of the guide tape.

Había tan fascinado por todo el arte en el Museo de Louvre de que terminé la batería de los auriculares de la casete de cintas guidado.

Corrections per Martha y Cordo:

Estaba tan fascinada por todo el arte en el Museo de Louvre que terminé las baterías de las audioguías.
