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. El abogado no quiso proseguir con el caso, ya que iba en contra de su conciencia moral.**

  • The lawyer didn't want to continue on with the case, since it was against his moral conscience.*

** 2. Enrique prosiguió su viaje a conocer a Eduardo, cuando lo llamó su esposa con los resultados de la autopsia de su padre. Fue envenenado.**

  • Enrique carried on with his trip to meet Eduardo, when his wife called him with the results of his father's autopsy. He was poisoned.*

Its back! The 2nd example sentence is part of our Word of the Day "novela" series. Stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!

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!!

Prosigue sounds awkward in this sentence. But if you must use, I would say: Prosigue escuchando a tu corazón... - francobollo, May 19, 2013
Muchas gracias francobollo. Los matices del idioma son la pesadilla de mí vida. The nuances of language are the bane of my existence. - 0095ca4c, May 19, 2013

Por razón que mi primera selección ya ha sido usado, tengo que proseguir con otro oración. ¡Cuando sé lo que es, voy a escribirlo!

Since my first choice already has been used, I have to proceed with another sentence. When I know what it is, I'm going to write it!
