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.

• He was always a studious guy. He would spend the weekends studying in order to do better in his classes.*

** 2. El policía lo miró de manera estudiosa. De repente lo soltó y le pregunto que quién era y qué hacía allí. Enrique le explicó la situación y el policía lo sentó y le empezó a contar todo..**

• The cop looked at him in a studious manner. Suddenly he released him and asked him who he was and what he was doing there. Enrique explained the situation and the cop sat him down and began to tell him everything.*
