We are looking for an official corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM.

Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español. Si usted está interesado, por favor envíeme un PM.

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.

Cuando trabajo con las pobres personas que quieran aprender inglés en mi clase de ESL, considero que estoy muy rico.

Yes! Somebody once explained to me that poverty made ignorant and ignorant made happy => skip the ignorants in the sentence, and it sometimes is more than true!! - mcl020, Jan 24, 2013

After they have learned, they will be that much richer. - 0095ca4c, Jan 24, 2013
