intercambiar ( een-tehr-kahm-byahr' )

verb ( to exchange )

Sylyon1976 will correct the Spanish sentences as her time permits. 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.

Yo creo que el intercambio más grande en la historia se llevó a cabo cuando Jesucristo cargó con nuestros pecados y nos dió a cambio el perdón y la vida eterna por medio de El.

I believe that the greatest exchange in history took place when Jesus Christ took our sins upon Himself and gave us forgiveness and eternal life through Him in return.

Para intercambiar las ideas, el mundo pensó que necesitaban un grupo internacional para discutir los tópicos del día. Por eso, nació los Naciones Unidos basado en Nueva York. A veces eso funciona bien, pero muchas veces, no tan mucho.

El programa internacional de intercambio de estudiantes es muy bueno. Dos de mis hijos se fueron a vivir con familias en otros paises cuando tenían diecesiete años. Uno se fue a Dinamarca y el otro a Brasil. Ellos tuvieron que intercambiar todos de su forma de vivir por nuevas escuelas, nuevos idiomas y costumbres y gente diferente. Era una experiencia muy útil para ellos.

The international program of student exchange is very good. Two of my sons went to live with families in other countries when they were seventeen years old. One went to Denmark and the other went to Brazil. They had to exchange all their way of living for new schools, new languages and customs and different people. It was a very useful experience for them.

El año pasado, mi hermana Sally organizó un intercambio de casa con una familia (nativa) española que vive en el sur de España. ¡Fui a España con mi hermana y su familia en lugar de mi sobrino Daniel porque él no podía acompañarnos por debido a tener un compromiso previo!

Last year, my sister Sally organized a house exchange with a native Spanish family that lives in the south of Spain. I went to Spain with my sister and her family in place of my nephew Daniel because he was not able to go on account of having a prior engagement!

Editor's note/s: Sorry, I know I used the 'Word of the Day' as a noun rather than a verb I hope this will be okay (acceptable) on this occasion ?
