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. La novia cibernética de Francisco supuestamente era una mujer joven y bella, pero cuando la conoció en persona se dio cuenta de que eso no era verdad.**
- Francisco's cyber-girlfriend was supposedly a young, beautiful woman. But when he met her in person he saw that it wasn't true..*
** 2. Supuestamente hoy iba a ser la fiesta de Margarita, pero ella no ha mandado ninguna invitación.**
- Supposedly today was Margarita's party, but she hasn't sent out any invitations.*
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. Wishing you well wherever you are Rac1! -Martha-
