The game goes like this:

I'll start us off with a word that I know the meaning of, along with its definition.

Then I'll leave a new word that needs a definition.

To join in the game:

1) Click on 'newest'

2) Write the definition of the last word that has been given (this can be in either English or Spanish)

3) Then write a new word that you don't know the meaning of, leaving it for the next person to supply a definition.

and so on ..... Enjoy! smile

Given word: aparcarse = to park

New word: botch


El juego consiste en escribir una palabra en español o ingles con su respectiva traducción y escribir una palabra en español o ingles que no sepan que significa;aqui un ejemplo

Mi Palabra: aparcarse = to park

Palabra nueva: botch

Otra persona me deja su significado y deja su duda,entre menos común la palabra mucho mejor

P.D. Si alguien que hable muy bien el ingles me puede ayudar con las instrucciones,se lo agradecería muchísimo

¡Diviertanse! fun with thisenter image description here

I have edited the English version for you :) I hope it helps, if you don't like it, just feel free to use the 'roll back' feature under 'edit' :) - Kiwi-Girl, May 7, 2012
edit the category to games, too! - missy8888, May 7, 2012
tal vez si le pones que se numere las respuestas, será más fácil después saber cual es la que toca responder. - comunacho, May 7, 2012
Heatlatino, our games on Spanishdict.com need to list a corrector. Generally everyone helps with the English, but it is nice to name the corrector for Spanish. - bandit51jd, May 7, 2012
Will you be doing this yourself? If so will you please indicate you will be the corrector. Muchas gracias! - bandit51jd, May 7, 2012

Sobremesa is an interesting word as it can refer to a time period, like 'the afternoon slot' for a movie viewing or something along those lines, also it can refer to the after meal conversation of an afternoon - Kiwi-Girl, May 7, 2012
