Caefuego is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences. 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 Caefuego's suggestions.

Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. Then the Word of the Day winner will be chosen.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Examples:

1. Mi peor clase es la de educación física porque no me gusta correr.

My worst class is physical education because I don't like to run.

2. Ser granjero requiere un gran esfuerzo físico.

Being a farmer requires great physical effort.

I love swimming the butterfly-stroke as that wave movement makes you feel like flying through the water, but it costs a lot of physical strength.

Me encanta nadar al estilo mariposa porque este movimiento ondulatorio me hace sentir como si estuviera volando a través del agua, pero requiere un gran esfuerzo físico.

Well, yeah, but you gotta make time for intellectual activities too. :) For example, I couldn't learn Spanish by playing basketball all day. Hmm, unless I was living in Spain... That way I could shoot hoops and learn Spanish at the same time! - inkubzz, Jun 29, 2012

"Physical" lyrics sung by Olivia Newton-John

Imagine my surprise when she thought I was talking about the song named "Physical" sung by Nine Inch Nails.

Imaginen mi sorpresa cuando me di cuenta que ella pensó que yo quería decir la canción llamada "física", cantada por Nine Inch Nails.

Entonces pensé, tal vez se trata de alguien demasiado joven para mí hablar.
