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 and Franco 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. Por lo general, los republicanos están firmemente en contra de aumentar los impuestos.**

** 2. Esa puerta se pega cuando hay mucha humedad. Tienes que empujarla firmemente para abrirla.**
