I broke my leg last week
Ich brach mir ein Bein letzte Woche

We went hiking in spain over the summer.
Wir gingen Wandern in Spanien im Sommer.

I wish for a cozy apartment in a village in the black forest.
Ich wünsche mir eine gemütliche Wohnung in einem Dorf im Schwarzwald.
First sentence:
"Ich habe mir letzte Woche ein Bein gebrochen." (That's how we'd say it, yours kinda works too but sounds a bit weird)

Second:
"Wir gingen letzten Sommer in Spanien wandern." or "Letzten Sommer sind wir in Spanien wandern gegangen."

Third one is perfect.

Trust me, I'm a German engineer.

Your main problem is the words are out of order. Its not a direct translation; germans put their words in funny order.

So many word order mistakes in this thread :P

1. sentence: Letzte Woche habe ich mir mein Bein gebrochen.
2. sentence: Im Sommer sind wir in Spanien wandern gegangen.
3. sentence is alright.

your example would be "last week i broke my leg", which sounds strange in german, so i would go with your first choice.
the 2nd sentence really hurts

"Im Sommer wir wanderen in Spanien"
the direct translation of your translation would e 'in the summer we're hiking in spain'
which sounds more like future than anything else

the right one would be
We went hiking in spain over the summer.
.
wir waren wandern in spanien letzten sommer.
assuming the last summer is meant with the past used in english
last sentence is good.
dafuq I just read? you are doing it worng, trust me...."wir waren wandern' (O_o)

Das ist schon ziemlich gut... ich wuerde es so uebersetzen (check the changes in bold)

Ich brach mir mein Bein letzte Woche - now, this is the "correct" translation, since broke is past tense and you'd just go with "brach"... but no German would say it that way. We would say: "Ich habe mir letzte Woche mein Bein gebrochen" - it depends on how exact your teacher is. I highly prefer the later translation.

Wir gingen wandern in Spanien im Sommer - first, wandern hast to be lower case as it is a verb and not a noun... secondly, it's a weird sentence, since most people would say "Letzen Sommer sind wir in Spanien wandern gegangen" - meaning, we would add "which summer" (letzten, 2 years ago etc.) and turn it into "sind gegangen, rather than gingen"... now, in this case I'd use "Wir sind im Sommer in Spanien wandern gegangen"

And the last sentence is perfect... good job. Hope that helps.

Your friendly neighborhood German Rioter Lx

Some people would argue that Florida and Germany are not that different ;-)

This... I'd go with his translation. Natural and very exact.
