la sesión ( seh-see-ohn' )

noun ( session, meeting )

Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her 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.

Examples:

1. Se convocó una sesión de emergencia del congreso para abordar las protestas.

An emergency session of Congress was convened to address the protests.

2. Después de 10 sesiones con la psicóloga todavía no siento que estoy superando mis problemas emocionales.

After 10 sessions with the psychologist I still don't feel like I'm overcoming my emotional issues.

Please join me in welcoming Sylyon1976. She will be our official corrector for la palabra del dia. Due to his busy schedule, RafaelNoiret has not been able to be here. I'm sure he will visit us as often as he can when his time permits. Thank you to RafaelNoireet for all of your help!

I would like to add a big thank you to each and every one of you for your continued participation! Muchas gracias amigos!!
