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.

Por mala suerte la gente se convenció de que la mayoría los políticos forjaron mentiras , por eso ahora la política no tiene ningún crédito.

Unluckily people became convinced that most politicians forged lies, so politics now has no credit.

"Unlucky"... :) - rac1, Jan 10, 2017
I think "unluckily" is correct chica. However "so politics no longer hold, (or have) credit." sounds better :-)! - Jraider, Jan 10, 2017
Yes, I see what you're saying. I think it all depends on how it's read. - rac1, Jan 10, 2017

Cuando alguien sale de su país y trata de comenzar un nueva vida en otro lugar, es muy difícil forjar nuevas amistades. Esto es así especialmente para un refugiado que tuvo que huir su país, y también si no conoce bien el idioma del país nuevo.

When someone leaves their country and tries to start a new life in another place it is very hard to forge new friendships. This is particularly so for a refugee who has had to flee their country, and also if they do not know the language of the new country well.

You have to use the word, "forjar", amiga. :) - rac1, Jan 10, 2017
haha I had a sentence with that word in it, then I changed it! lol - k_nelson, Jan 10, 2017
And you had conjugated the prior one, and now just have an infinitive. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 10, 2017
Should it be ..."Forjé un hermoso papel...."? - Jraider, Jan 10, 2017

And the men who hold high places

Must be the ones to start

To mold a new reality

Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist

Reflect it in their art

They forge their creativity

Closer to the heart

Y los hombres que tienen altos puestos

Deben ser los que empiecen

A crear una nueva realidad

Más cerca del corazón

El herrero y el artista

Lo reflejan en su arte

Forjan su creatividad

Más cerca del corazón
