RafaelNoiret is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts 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.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game to help with using a new vocabulary word! Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Si no hubieran encontrado este tipo de transporte tan especial, no hubieran llegado a su destino, donde quieren pasar sus vacaciones. Ni siquiera se quejan que son transportados tan lentamente. Solamente se ríen y dicen: "Somos como una tortuga". : ))

If they had not found this very special kind of transport, they would not have arrived to their destination, where they wants to spend their holiday. They do not even complain that they are transported so slowly. They just laugh and say, "We are very slow".

"Bones" es suspicaz de la tecnología. Odia ser transportados a lugares porque siente que sus moléculas se están revueltos y ¡no va a volver como a sí mismo! Preferiría utilizar el transbordador espacial.

"Bones" is suspicious of technology. He hates to be transported to places because he feels his molecules are being scrambled and he won't come back as himself! He would prefer to use the shuttle.
