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.
Sinmeta will be correcting the Spanish sentences as his time permits. We still need more help with this very important task. Please correct your sentences 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. A Gabriela le enseñaron cómo hacer un salto complicado usando el trampolín.
Gabriela learned how to do a complicated jump using the diving board.
2. ¿Viste el salto que dio Catalina cuando la asustaron?
Did you see how Catalina jumped when they scared her?
Until we have an official Spanish corrector, please help with any suggestions to the Spanish sentences as you are able. It is very much appreciated. Thank you all for being here at SD and for participating in La Palabra Del Dia!

El corazón es uno de los órganos más importantes que posee un individuo. Su importancia radica en que se encarga de bombear la sangre a los distintos tejidos del cuerpo haciendo llegar, a través de ésta, el oxígeno y los nutrientes necesarios para que las células puedan generar la energía necesaria para llevar a cabo todas las actividades metabólicas. Cuando el corazón deja de funcionar adecuadamente, por ejemplo, en el caso de las arritmias, éste puede saltarse un latido.
The heart is one of the most important organs that an indiviual has. Its importance lies for the fact that it pumps blood to different tissues of the body carrying, through blood, oxigen and all nutrients needed, so cells are able to make energy needed to carry out all metabolic activities. When the heart stops working properly, for example, in arrythmias, the heart may skip beats.
