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.

We go to visit a neurologist twice a week, so my son can take his neurofeedback therapy. After each session, the doctor discusses the results and the evolution that my son has had with this therapy with us.

Please make any corrections. I'm not sure if I use "evolution" in English correctly.

I would use, "progress" or "progression" - rac1, Oct 2, 2013

Best wishes for your son susy:) - Jraider, Oct 2, 2013

Like Jraider, best wishes - Aranjuez12, Oct 2, 2013

Thank you! :-) They don't have a cure, but it is treatable (High functioning autism). And, he is progressing really well. - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

My daughter has Asperger but isn't that the same or am I wrong? (which could be, clearly) and what is the treat in that case. I - Aranjuez12, Oct 2, 2013

I'd really lik to know. (pressed enter too soon :-)) - Aranjuez12, Oct 2, 2013

A small point here that I don´t claim to know the reason for, but ironically, in the case of sickness or disease, progress and progression can be different. - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

We tend to talk about the patient´s progress, but the diseases progression. (which given the opposite perspective, is negative for the patient) It´s not a hard and fast rule but common practice. Never thought of it that way before now. Cheers! - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

Yes, maybe "how my son is progressing" would be more appropriate. Thanks Roger. - rac1, Oct 2, 2013

Hi Aran. They are in the same "family", so to speak, of diseases, yet very different. I'll send you what I know in a pm. :) - rac1, Oct 2, 2013

Aran, Asperger's disease and high functioning autism are very similar, but the main difference is that the ones that have Asperger's don't have any speech trouble and are very, extremely bright, but socially awkard. HFAutistics have speech trouble, they - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

... are extremely smart but only in one or two areas, and the social part it varies. My son is sociable, but very selective. One of the doctor's considered him as Aspberger's, but because of the speech I really don't think so. He talks fine, but has - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

... difficulty finding words. It is like if English was his second language, but that is his only language. He sounds like he is speaking a language that he is not familiar with. - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

Answer 7

The theory of evolution is perhaps the most important theory in biology.

La teoría de la evolución es quizás la teoría más importantae de la biología.

Some red toenail polish or strappy sandles and the last one would be kinda hot -- but -- I don´t trust ladies with spears. - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

Important and interesting :) - 201286, Oct 2, 2013

Just think, she came from a tadpole. jeje - rac1, Oct 2, 2013

... de la Evolución... más importante de la Biología." Wow! it takes more faith to believe in that! Saludos! :-) - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

JaJa rac1 - yes, conjures visions of young nubile tadpoles. Susie, thanks for the corrections. I must remember this Spanish use of the definite article for general things better. Gracias. - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

My pleasure, rogspax. From yesterday's word of the day I wasn't sure of the use of your word "frame". I think is "armazón". - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

Thanks Susie. I´ll go look at that more. For bicycles, I´ve heard cuadro many times, but maybe it is different for Motorcycles, and-or more complicated shapes that are less angular. - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

Answer 8

A mí me intriga el cambio y la evolución de los idiomas.

I am intrigued by the change and the evolution of languages.

Interesting chart! - Jraider, Oct 2, 2013

Answer 9

To me evolution means we either evolve or we disappear. "Para mí, la evolución significa que o evolucionamos o desparecemos.

Or maybe we disappear as we evolve. jeje - rac1, Oct 2, 2013

You are so thought provoking Annielite, I love it. - pmikan-pam, Oct 2, 2013

Stronger evolve, weaker disappear.. - 00b5f6c6, Oct 2, 2013

Or we disappear into a computer???? - Jraider, Oct 2, 2013

Maybe Jraider :) - 00b5f6c6, Oct 2, 2013

I´m with Annie, at least sometimes, as one thing evolves, its predecessor can disappear, or, in some cases, march on in coexistence. - rogspax, Oct 2, 2013

"Para mí, la evolución significa que o evolucionamos o desparecemos." Or "En cuanto a mí, la evolución significa que o evolucionamos o desaparecemos." --Saludos, Pam! - 00e46f15, Oct 2, 2013

I think I already have JR - pmikan-pam, Oct 2, 2013

Thank you so much susy! - pmikan-pam, Oct 2, 2013

Hola lilium, good thought - pmikan-pam, Oct 2, 2013

Good one Rogspax, I hope the good in me continues to march on :-) - pmikan-pam, Oct 2, 2013
