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.

How to post a picture

Examples:

** 1. El régimen del dictador por fin ha llegado a su fin. El país ahora será una democracia.**

  • The dictator's regime has finally come to an end. The country will now be a democracy.*

** 2. Siendo vegetariana, mi régimen consiste de frutas y vegetales.**

  • Being a vegetarian, my diet consists of fruits and vegetables.*

Thanks to everyone that has been helping to correct in the palabra del día. I know it is a time-consuming job and we all are very appreciative of your work and dedication to us and to SD!!

We still haven't heard from Annie (Rac1) and we think her internet went down. We are sure Annie will be back when she is able to! -Martha-

El siglo veinte tenía muchos regímenes muy malos. Se necesitaron mucha sangre y mucho tesoro para derrotarlos, pero el mal aún persiste en el mundo.

The twentieth century had many very evil regimes. It took a lot of blood and treasure to defeat them, but evil still persists in the world.

"El régimen...". I don't support the rhetoric being used to manage that crisis, but the US is no world police and its interventionism in other countries' matters must end - diagonx, Apr 4, 2013

Reality is in the eye of the beholder, no regime is worse than the one that lets you think you're free.

La realidad es un punto de vista, no hay peor régimen que el que te deja pensarte libre.

Food in an important part of a balanced diet, and water is the most neglected nutrient in your diet, both are vital. La comida es una parte importante de un régimen balanceado y el aqua son el nutriente es el más descuidado de los nutrientes en régimen, ambos son vitales.
