Cordobesa is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences and since there are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Please correct your posts according to Cordobesa's suggestions.

Usa la palabra en una frase en inglés y añade la traducción al español. Intenta usar la palabra de una manera original y vota por las frases que más te gusten. Cada día una de las frases será elegida la ganadora del juego de la palabra del día.

Las directrices:

  • Escribe solamente frases que tengan, al menos, 5 palabras.
  • No escribas párrafos con 4 frases o más.
  • Haz las correcciones sugeridas por los usuarios y mods.
  • ¡Usa tus propias palabras! (No uses el traductor, ni un libro, ni la letra de una canción.)
  • ¡Disfruta de este juego de inglés!

Mi ejemplo:

I have many songs on my iPhone that I listen to while I drive to work.

Tengo muchas canciones en mi iPhone que escucho mientras conduzco al trabajo.

Cada vez, cuando escucho hablando hispanohablandes, esto es como una canción para mí.

Corrected: "Siempre que oigo hablar a los hispanohablantes, es como una canción para mí."

All the time when I hear native Spanish speakers speaking , it is like a song for me.

"Mi corazon entona la canción, tan grande es Él... " es una línea de un himno que me gusta mucho.

Then sings my soul (my heart sings the song), "How Great Thou Art", is a line in a hymn that I like very much.

How Great Thou Art, Carrie Underwood/Vince Gill
