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, Kiwi, Josuele, diagonx 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.

Mi Chica beba Pitufo bebé hacer sigue bien después de su nacimiento. Ella nació hace tres meses. A mí me fascina la cara del bebé Pitufo. Miro a ella Yo la miro y ella me mira fijamente a mí. Creo que hay ya una conexión que existe una conexión entre nosotros. Debajo de mis oraciónes es està/hay un artículo. No es necesario leerlo; solo basta con echarlo echarle una mirada. es bastante bien. Este es la segundasegundo artículo que escribí acerca del nacimiento de mi Pitufo. La primeroEl primer artículo se puede ver dentro de "luz" de la palabra del dia "luz". Saqué las fotos de mis dos bebes Pitufos afelpados para ambos articulos. Decidí poner algunas nombres de los participantes desde este foro en los articulos para por divertido. En este artículo Los los resalté en este artículo en azul.

My baby girl Smurf continues to do well after her birth. She was born three months ago. I'm really fascinated by baby Smurf's face. I look at her and she stares at me. I think there is already a connection that exists between us. Under my sentences is an article. It's not necessary to read it; just glancing at it is good enough. This is the second article that I wrote about the birth of my Smurf. The first article can been seen inside of "luz" word of the day. I took photos of my two plush baby Smurfs for both articles. I decided to put names of participants from this forum in the articles for fun. I highlighted them in this article in blue.

@tiempo_de_es thanks for corrections. A few I don't understand but will look into. The word order of the last sentence and the basta con stuff is a little confusing to me. Wish I didn't make so many mistakes. I'm one of the worst writers in this forum - Sassette, Feb 28, 2015
@tiempo_de_es thanks for "beba". I was wondering how to refer to a female baby. Further research I just did reveals some differences depending on location. Some even use el bebé regadless of gender. - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015
Oh dear. I am sorry I missed the birth of baby Smurf. What a strange and funny day it must have been. Give her "un gran abrazo" from me. - languagenut, Mar 1, 2015
'dentro de la palabra...por diversión...' no Tipagal don't worry I made corrections to improve your Span but I can understand it perfectly how you wrote it. In addition your sentence was very long and hard and there are few people who write long - Pablo064, Mar 1, 2015
long sentences on this forum :) - Pablo064, Mar 1, 2015
@ tiempo_de_es You're good, tiempo. I just get frustrated with myself for no good reason. I am new to writing Spanish so it'll time with many mistakes that I hope you continue catch. I'll try to write shorter sentences. I know what you mean. - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015
@ languagenut I just gave her a big hug from you and she giggled :-) - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015
Wow you are a real talent T G, I am quite impressed , thanks from everyone on SD. - ray76, Mar 1, 2015
Tipa. My crazy cat wants to come and visit baby Smurfett, but he's got a gig playing the blues, so I'll come over today and visit :-)! - Jraider, Mar 1, 2015
@Jraider awesome! Your crazy cat does everything. - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015
@ ray. I really appreciate the support you give me here on SD along with many others, of course. - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015
Just a little point - bebé = baby, beba = he/she might drink (among other translations) ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 1, 2015
@Kiwi-Girl Nice to hear from you Kiwi. Your info is correct. And according to some discussion on SD years ago it was pointed out that beba is used for a baby girl in some areas. So both you and tiempo are right. - Sassette, Mar 2, 2015

Es interesante que , al nacer, los gemelos ya han pasado nueve meses juntos en el vientre y por eso no entienden el concepto del 'yo' .

it's interesting that, when they are born, twins have already passed nine months very close together, in the uterus , and because of this closeness they don't understand the idea of ' me'.

Un gran autor húngaro escribió: cuando un bebé nace „parece a un Mesías, si una estrella se elevara para la familia, sólo más tarde se convierte en el insolente usual”

A great Hungarian author wrote: when a baby is born „he is like a Messiah, if a star would rise for the family, only later turns into the usual insolent one”

I like this "usual insolent one." I understand what this author meant. We don't have anything quite equivalent in English and I've never heard the phrase "usual insolent one" but it is perfectly good English. I will make another comment. - Jubilado, Feb 28, 2015
My words would be: A new born baby is like a Messiah to us, as if a star has risen in the family, only later does he / she become the common nuisance we all really are. - Jubilado, Feb 28, 2015

Inmediatemente después de nacer el bebé comenzó a llorar para su madre. La madre lloró lágrimas de alegría y tomó suavemente al recién nacido en sus brazos.

Immediately after he was born the baby began to cry for his mother. The mother cried tears of joy and carefully held the newly born in her arms.

La incertidumbre nace de la duda, y esta, del cuestionamiento a nuestras propias percepciones de lo que nos rodea.

Uncertainty is born out of doubt, and doubt, out of the questioning of our own perceptions of what'ss around us.

If I follow this it is very insightful. When it comes to looking into issues of faith, red flags pop up if someone tries to convince you of something that divides us and contributes to fear and hatred, even if those people are well intentioned. - Sassette, Feb 28, 2015
...after all, religion comes down to faith, not proof. Some feel so confident in their beliefs they start to believe it's proof, and don't respect other's views. That gets scary. - Sassette, Feb 28, 2015
One major proof, if you can accept it, is a changed life. To do that it requires more than discipline--ya gotta have a little help! - Daniela2041, Feb 28, 2015
Well, we all have to have faith in something, I guess. It's what moves us for!ward, although I seem to be stumbling. I need some faith! Help me, Papa Smurf :) - Sassette, Mar 1, 2015

Cuando nací durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue un mundo más sencillo pero al borde del precipicio de la Edad Atómica. Durante los años en cuales he vivido la vida cotidiana se ha cambiado. Nacieron muchos avances científicos, médicos, y tecnológicos que nos afectan profundamente. Por eso hay muchas personas que no creen más en la verdad absoluta. Voy a salir esta vida más inteligente pero no menos creyente que cuando la entré.

When I was born during World War II it was a simpler world but one on the brink of the Atomic Age. In the years I have lived daily life has changed. Many scientific, medical, and technological advances have been born which greatly affect us. Therefore there are many who no longer believe in absolute truth. I will leave this life more intelligent but no less a believer than when I entered it.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but only one second in a lifetime.
