In this Spanish lesson we will learn the colours in Spanish and how to use them as adjectives to describe items of clothing. Remember that with Spanish adjectives we place the adjective after the noun/the thing it is describing. In English you would say, for example: “red skirt” with the colour/adjective before the noun, but in Spanish we say: “falda roja” (skirt red). This can be a little tricky at first for English speaking Spanish students, but in my experience it is a small issue that is overcome quickly as the student becomes accustomed to forgetting the order and rules of his or her own language. It is vital to be open minded and never to try to translate sentences literally between languages.
