Useful Spanish vocabulary related to making physical descriptions in Spanish. This Spanish video lesson shows you how to use Spanish adjectives such as “grande” (big), “pequeño” (small) and the colours when decribing your own, or someone elses, physical appearance. Learning how to use the Spanish adjectives correctly is an important lesson as they are placed in the opposite position to English adjectives. For example, if you want to say “blond hair” in Spanish you need to really say: “hair blond” (“pelo rubio”). If you are an English speaker then this will, of course, be a little tricky for you at first, but in my experience with my own English speaking Spanish students it is never a big deal and something that is overcome relatively quickly. Try to make a long list of the Spanish adjectives you learn and refer back to them regularly to keep them fresh in your mind. For this Spanish lesson it is vital to be up to speed with the colours in Spanish, parts of the body in Spanish and relevant body adjectives in Spanish such as “big”, “small”, “tall”, “short”, “fat” and “thin”.
