Georgeir (George) is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences. Please correct your entries according to his 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. .

En Australia, todo el tiempo se dice que debemos aprender una segunda lengua, pero el problema es que nadie puede decidir cual lengua a aprender. Francés, alemán, japonése, italiano, chino, vietnamese, indonesiano, griego..? Tenemos muchas inmigrantes de muchos paises, pero no lengua es una segunda lengua obvia. Creo que somos el unico país anglohablante en esta situación. Una escuala enseña griego, otra escuela enseña mandarin, y pocos estudiantes aprenden mucho.
In Australia, all the time they say we should all learn a second language, but the problem is that nobody can decide which language to learn. French, German, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Greek...? We have many immigrants from many countries, but no language is an obvious second language. I think we are the only English-speaking country in this situation. One school teaches Greek, another teaches Mandarin, and few students learn much.
