We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a pm. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.
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.

No me gusta caminar afuera descalzo pero en la casa sí. Creo que la palabra descalzo anteriormente quería decir sin calcetines quizá con sandalias, porque existe la palabra “discalced” para describir unas ordenes religiosas. Cuando hace calor aquí prefiero llevar puesto sandalias sin calcetines adentro y afuera. Es muy cómodo hasta que encuentres espinas en el césped.
I don’t like walking barefoot outside but in the house I do. I think that the word “descalzo” used to mean without socks perhaps with sandals, because the word “discalced” exists to describe certain religious orders. When it is hot here I prefer wearing sandals without socks inside and out. It’s very comfortable until you run into stickers in the grass.
