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.

Please encourage everyone with a vote. smile
.

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.

Estoy leyendo un libro de Isabel Allende en este momento, se llama Inéz del alma mía y se trata de la conquesta de Chile. Me ha hecho pensar sobre los conquistadores que antes no me han interasado ni un pimiento porque America Latina estámuy lejos de mi país. En la novela hay hidalgos españoles y indianos/ indios/ aborígenes de varios tribus pero casi no hay mujeres españolas y todos los hombres tienen amantes y esclavos indianas y muchas de ellas se quedan embarazadas, como bien podemos imaginar, y resulta que nacen muchos mestizos, niños que tienen una mezcla de sangre española e india.

I´m just reading a book by Isabel Allende, it is called ¨Inéz of my soul'' and it is about the conquest of Chile. It has made me think about the conquistadors, something which has never interested me in the least before because Latin America is very far from my country. In the novel there are lesser noblemen from Spain and Indians of various tribes but there are hardly any Spanish women. Nearly all the men have Indian lovers and slaves and many of these become pregnant, as we well can imagine, and lots of mestizos are born, children who are have a mixture of Spanish and Indian blood.

...no me han interesado..'indios' although 'aborígenes' would be correct cause indios are from India...de 'varias' tribus..esclavos indios/aborígenes/nativos... española e india or 'española y aborigen'... 'indiana' reminds me of Indiana Jones :D - Pablo064, May 22, 2015
It is a really interesting book, but I came to the conclusion, that people has killed each other always during the whole history. - porcupine7, May 23, 2015
Indeed,Porc, it is what people do. Tiempo, the book refers to allthe tribus como indianos/indios etc. Personally I have no idea. Gracias por las correciones. - annierats, May 23, 2015

Ahora en una cocina moderna si quisieras hacer galletas o pasteles puedes mezclar los ingredientes con una batidora y el resultado será un mezcla más suave cómo haciendola a mano .

Nowadays in a modern kitchen if you want to make cookies or cakes you can mix the ingredients with a mixer and the result will be a mixture more even than doing it with hand. .

Soy el cocinero para de mi familia. Déjame decirte acerca de un plato que hago una vez cada por semana. Antes de que cocino cocinar esta comida, digo "¡Estamos teniendo vamos a comer la comida mexicana esta noche!" Primero, corto una gran cebolla grande y la pongo en una sartén. Rompo un medio kilo de pavo molido y lo añado a la sartén. Mezclo estos juntos y los cocino hasta que se convierten en estén marrón claro. También pongo un poco de salsa caliente, que está hecha por Valentina, en la sartén. A continuación, añado agrego algún algo de tomate triturado y frijoles negros. Finalmente, pongo en algún algo de arroz natural. Caliento la mezcla por 30 minutos. ¡Qué delicioso!

I am the cook for my family. Let me tell you about a dish that I make once each week. Before I cook this meal, I say "We're having Mexican tonight!" First, I cut up a large onion and put it in a frying pan. I break up a half kilo of ground turkey and add it to the pan. I mix these together and cook them until they have turned light brown. I also put a little hot sauce, which is made by Valentina, into the pan. Next I add some crushed tomatoes and black beans. Finally, I put in some brown rice. I heat the mixture for 30 minutes. How delicious!

Normalmente cuando preparo una comida, pienso preparar platos que sean de la misma región para que se combinen bien el uno a los otros vayan bien juntos, pero de vez en cuando he mezclado platos de distintas partes del mundo, y sin embargo siempre parece que a todos les gusta la comida.

Normally when I prepare a meal, I try to make dishes that are from the same region so that they go well together, but once in a while I have mixed dishes from different parts of the world, and it always seems that everybody likes the meal despite this.

Mortar is a building material composed of cement mixed with lime, or gypsum plaster, sand and water.

Concrete is a mortar of a special cement, generally Portland cement, to which, besides the aforementioned materials, natural gravel and crushed stones are added.
