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.

2: Si tienes alguna duda, no dudes en hablarme.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me.

Okay, this is just a diversion for Americans who like 19th century folksongs: "The Camptown race track five miles long, duda, duda."

But seriously:

Tengo duda dudas de que los hispanohablantes van vayan a entender la letra de esta canción. Una grabación de 1910 (mil novecientos diez):

I doubt that the Spanish speakers are going to understand the lyrics of this song. A recording from 1910 (nineteen ten):

Camptown Races

So you sit here, week after week, bragging about all the people you have deceived, swindled, and defrauded, but you are incredulous that I have the nerve to doubt that you are being honest with me?

A los científicos se les enseña a dudar todo. Debido a esto preuban la evidencia muchas veces y aún cuando una teoría es establecida, todavía la actitud de duda continua. Es interesante que los supuestos escépticos que no aceptan la evidencia de la ciencia no parecen tener dudas acerca de sus propias opiniones.

Scientists are taught to doubt everything. Because of this they test evidence many times and even when a theory is established still the attitude of doubt continues. It is interesting that the so-called sceptics who do not accept the evidence of science do not seem to have doubts about their own opinions.

There's science and then there's political science - when they mix together, we all do well to doubt the outcome. - Esteban_317, Jan 4, 2016
