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.

This may cause a translator a bit of trouble because although they are common terms in English they are probably unheard of in Spanish , please take all the time you need , do not be like me all at sea. - ray76, Feb 18, 2014
Ray, no estoy seguro de la traducción. Podría ser : La profesión legal es un campo delicado para mi. Estoy completamente perdido en alta mar. - Creo que vas a tener que pedir segunda opinión. Disculpas de antemano. xxoo - 00e46f15, Feb 18, 2014
