Welcome to La Palabra Del Día

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.

Mientras recorriendo el mundo, he recorrido mucho terreno y he recorrido con una mirada muchas esquinas, pero no he recorrido cualquier lugar más apreciado que mi hogar.

While traveling around the world, I have covered a lot of ground and I have looked around a lot of corners, but I have never run across any place more cherished than my home.

Hogar

Una vez, hace muchos años, vagó por medio mundo, más o menos, en un barco y por eso no he tenido ganas de ir de vacación en un crucero, pero supongo que ha pasado suficiente tiempo, y he accedido a ir a un buque que va a recorrer el pasaje interior a Alaska el año que viene.

Once, many years ago, I roamed half-way around the world, more or less, on a boat and so I have not felt like going on vacation on a cruise ship, but I suppose enough time has passed, and I have agreed to go on a ship that is going to travel through the interior passage to Alaska next year.
