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 speakers 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.

Aunque hay opiniones diferentes sobre lo que constituiría un lugar paradisíaco, por lo menos algunos parecen estar de acuerdos con el individuo en la foto de Jellonz. Ojalá que pudiera encontrar la viñeta de "Frank and Ernest" que vi hace mucho en la que un esquimal le dice a un pastor con anhelo "dime otra vez sobre las llamas eternas" .
Even though there are different opinions about what constitutes a heavenly place, at least some seem to be in agreement with the individual in Jellonz's photo.
