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. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. 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.

Hola querida! Did you get up early to see the moon? Gracias :-)! - Jraider, Apr 4, 2015

Hola JR. No, It couldn't really be seen here, mostly in the west. :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

Wow, impressive photos! Thanks! - Raja-jani, Apr 4, 2015

Rac, photos come up, prior to publish, but click publish, and no photo, just the code. I use photobucket, which has become very commercial, the fault may be the photobucket end, very frustrating! - annierats, Apr 4, 2015

Thanks Raj :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

Hi Annie...I don't understand it, but have you tried photos from other sources? - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

Es verdad, Missy. ♥ - rac1, Apr 5, 2015

Answer 1

Estoy harta de los procesiones de Semana Santa. Los periódicos no publican otras cosas que fotos de las procesiones de Sevilla, de Jaen, pues, de toda España y en todas las fotos hay un cristo muerto y ensangrentado y niños vestidos en ropa similar a la del Ku Klux Klan, para mi una visión espantosa que me da escalafríos.

I'm fed up with the Easter processions. The newspapers publish nothing but photos of the processions, from Seville, from Jaen, well, from all over Spain an in every photo there is a dead Jesus dripping blood, and children dressed in clothes similar to those of Ku Klux Klan, a frightening sight that makes me shiver.

The children must be wearing white robes. - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

Can't see photo, amiga! - Noetol, Apr 4, 2015

I'm trying to get aphoto up, Rac.. - annierats, Apr 4, 2015

En verdad debe ser perturbador para un estadounidense por el Ku Klux Klan; pero en el catolicismo el significado es diametralmente diferente. - crucesignatus, Apr 4, 2015

Lo sé, pero como soy de Suecia las dos tradiciones me parecen muy alejados y ajenas. - annierats, Apr 4, 2015

The catholic faith in Spain is intense !!! - Jraider, Apr 4, 2015

@Annie Maybe you can try getting a photo from another source....? Not sure. - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

Yeah, It really is morbid: ) - Ranman, Apr 4, 2015

Jraider, I don't think most young people go to church or anything, I must get to know more people! - annierats, Apr 4, 2015

...de las procesiones...cristo muerto y ensangrentado... :) - Pablo064, Apr 4, 2015

Gracias a ti, Tiempo. - annierats, Apr 4, 2015

no hay de que annie :) - Pablo064, Apr 4, 2015

Annie, tienes toda la razón, pues ya nada más falta la segunda Inquisición. Entre más religión que haya, más ignorancia - 005faa61, Apr 4, 2015

@JulianChivi existe la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe, los avances científicos siguen destruyendo la tierra - crucesignatus, Apr 4, 2015

@ En Perú hoy hubo procesión del Señor de los Milagros, el catolicismo es inherente a la hispanidad - crucesignatus, Apr 4, 2015

It is a wonder that kids don't have nightmares. - ian-hill, Apr 4, 2015

@Annie, lo siento - crucesignatus, Apr 4, 2015

¡Viva Cristo Rey! - crucesignatus, Apr 5, 2015

¡Estoy de acuerdo, Falcop. Absolutamente! - rac1, Apr 5, 2015

I think this is deeply embedded in the culture. People might not be 'believers' in the rational sense, but still get satisfaction from ritual and ceremony. - jennysk, Apr 5, 2015

All Occident is influenced by Christian culture, consciously or unconsciously - crucesignatus, Apr 5, 2015

We recycle everything too, but we don't get the newspaper. - sanlee, Apr 5, 2015

that's good...ignorance is bliss :-) - Sassette, Apr 5, 2015

We used to roll them up tight tie them with bailing wire wet them and burned like logs . - ray76, Apr 5, 2015

In my youth there was amethod for soaking them like papie mache and then pressing them into logs and indeed burning them like logs. It never took off, too much work. - annierats, Apr 5, 2015

Muchas gracias, Dani. - jim5489, Apr 4, 2015

The point being, one of these papers pretty much thinks that he can walk on water. The other would like to attach a 100 pound stone to his ankle when he tries to walk on water. So, you can guess a person's political opinion by what paper they are reading - jim5489, Apr 4, 2015

Oh I can agree with that. :) - rac1, Apr 4, 2015

It is truely amazing when the whole world can see a clear and present danger but the President of the USA can't. - ian-hill, Apr 4, 2015

Answer 13

Desde que era joven, casi todo los días he leido un periódico que se llama "La Epóca". Por muchos años fue el mejor periódico en Australia, pero ahora se ha hecho más pequeño y tiene menos periodistas debido al internet. La gente no quiere pagar por noticias porque hay mucha información gratis en el internet. Ahora "La Epóca" tiene menos artículos interesantes y más sobre "estilo de vida". Eso me pone triste.

Since I was young, almost every day I have read a newspaper called "The Age". For many years it was the best newspaper in Australia, but now it has become smaller and has fewer journalists because of the internet. People don't want to pay for news because there is a lot of information for free on the internet. Now, "The Age" has fewer interesting articles and more about "lifestyle". I an sad about this.

Just a little typo, Jenny. "am".. I hate it when things like that happen; something you loved once and it just goes away. - rac1, Apr 5, 2015
