It's time to learn how to describe yourself physically in espanel or on that. In this episode of Speaking Spanish for beginners, kid Palamo Marco. You're Latinos Spanish teacher, not sure how to understand or use physical descriptions in Spanish, then this episode is for you. You learn so busy words for describing height, her color, and skin and hear them in a conversation. Ready for this First, let's listen

to dialogue between two Latinos, Jessica and me Marco. This is guy is looking at a picture of her family, and I ask questions about them. To know who we're talking about, we use physical descriptions. Pay close attentions to the words used to describe last personas here we go.

Speaker 1

Two difficult. Let's break it down. They talk about four people THEO Louis, uncle, Louis, mama, mom, lorretto unamiga. They are familiar, a friend's family, and Carlos a nobio de Loretto, Loretto's boyfriend. Let's go over this vocabulary. Repeat after me to practice your pronunciation. T O, mama, amiga dey la familiar nobio good. Let's check how they talk about height. I asked about the tall men in the picture a

lombri alto. Alto means tall, alto and for a woman alta so alto for a man, alta for a woman, and the opposite of alto is bajo short. In the dialogue, Loretto is baja, she is short. A common confusion by English speakers is saying corto for short, but corto is used for length, not height, so for short, referring to height in a person is bajo. So the two adjectives are alto and bajo. What about you, it is alto o bajo. Let's check now the hair color el color,

the pelow. Jessica's mom is Rubia Rubia means blonde rubia, and for a man it's rubio, so rubio rubia. Jessica's mom is rubia, but she has fellow the needle, tied her pelow the needle, and why does she tye her pellow because she has ghanas. Ghanas means gray hair. We have a specific word for gray hair in Spanish, ghanas, So that's about Jessica's mom her theo Luis has fellow negro black hair, so rubio is bland and pelo negro

is black hair. We also talk about the shape of el pelo l t o luis dna el pelo liso. Beelo liso means straight hair, and lorito dna el pelo risado pelo risado curly hair, So liso and risado are opposites. Repeat after me beelo liso, pelo risado. And finally, skin color el color de la piel pill mes skin, el TiO luis dna la piel blanca white skin, and carlos is moreno moreno is used for durst skin moreno. Okay,

now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen again. Ready, here we go, Ola Marco Bennie to.
