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. Simón Bolívar quiso librar a Latinoamérica de la soberanía española.**
- Simón Bolívar wanted to liberate Latin America from Spanish rule.*
** 2. Quería librarse del dolor, pero sólo podía pensar en su pobre padre. Enrique siempre había pensado que su padre no lo apreciaba, pero con el cuento del policía se dió cuenta que sí lo amaba.**
- He wanted to free himself of the pain, but he could only think of his poor father. Enrique had always thought his father never appreciated him, but with the cop's story he realized that he did love him.*
Its back! The 2nd example sentence is part of our Word of the Day "novela" series. Stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!
