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!

Here we are in Monchengladbach (sp?) in East Germany, I think in early ´90 just after the wall fell, and drinking with the locals. We were the first yanks there since just after the war, and Wolf, on the left who was from there, was my apartment mate while studying in West Germany.
And then with the town Mayor, who made two of us honorary citizens at their local Stadtfest, where we went to literally every little Häuschen in the village and snacked and drank. This toast started the event anew at each house.
Good times.
