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.

No me agrada mucho la semana antes de la Navidad aunque sé que se supone que es el tiempo más maravilloso del año; la verdad es que siempre me lo encuentro miserable. En mi trabajo nos ofrecen o la semana antes de la Navidad o la semana después como vacaciones y siempre digo por que querría estar de vacaciones la única semana durante la que sería mejor huir de la casa al trabajo en vez de lo opuesto.

The week before Christmas is not very pleasing to me even though it is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year; the truth is that I always find it to be miserable. At my work they offer us either the week before Christmas or the week after as vacation and I always say why would I want to be on vacation the one week during which it would be better to flee from the house to work instead of the opposite.

A mi me agrada las personas que son unos charlatanes. Me entretengo hablando y escuchando. I like people who are chatterboxes. I'm comfortable talking and listening.

Watch and weep with Joy.

El niño agradó siendo invitado para la navidad ,

a pesar de que él no es un cristiano .

Los niños son más comprensivos y capaces de disfrutar

de las festividades de todas religiones.

Los niños pueden ser más tolerante que la mayoría de los adultos.

The boy liked being invited for Christmas, even though he is not a Christian.

Children are more understanding and are able to enjoy the festivities of all religions.

Children can be more forgiving than most adults.
