Francobollo is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to his suggestions. 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. 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. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

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. ¿Me quieres acompañar a recoger a mi hermano del aeropuerto?

Do you want to accompany me to pick up my brother at the airport?

2. Siempre acompaño a mi abuela a misa los domingos.

I always accompany my grandmother to mass on Sundays.

thanks, but in Spain I also heard ¡Venga!, ¡venga! all the time as come! Come! - Aranjuez12, Sep 25, 2012
Venga it's an exclamation meaning C'mon! If that's what she meant it's OK. - francobollo, Sep 25, 2012

¿Dónde queda el fin del mundo? - francobollo, Sep 25, 2012
En Galicia, España. (Y en Francia hay Finistère . Britain has its Cornish Lands' End. In all three cases it seems to be something Celtic, anyway) ;) - Castor77, Sep 25, 2012
