We are still looking for a Spanish corrector that would like to correct on a full time basis. If you are interested, please send me a pm.
Also, I would like to thank all those that have so graciously donated their time in helping us with the Spanish corrections. Cordobesa, Dani, Julian, Luis, tiempo_de_es, Jimmy, Gex-Thunderstrom, leumas11, txustaboy, LuisCache, FELIZ77, Jubilado, billygoat, annierats, Neox, Josuele and anyone else that has helped. Hopefully, I haven't left anyone out.
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.

En muchos de los cuentos clásicos para niños, se representan los bosques como lugares muy oscuros y muy peligrosos, y la verdad es que para los niños lo pueden ser, pero los bosques también son muy importantes para la salud del planeta, y cuando eran éramos niños mis hermanas y yo solían solíamos pasar mucho tiempo explorando bosques sin encontrar demasiado peligro y todavía nos encantan los bosques.
