Speaker 1: It's time to learn how to describe yourself physically in
Speaker 1: espanel or on that. In this episode of Speaking Spanish
Speaker 1: for beginners, kid Palamo Marco. You're Latinos Spanish teacher, not
Speaker 1: sure how to understand or use physical descriptions in Spanish,
Speaker 1: then this episode is for you. You learn so busy
Speaker 1: words for describing height, her color, and skin and hear
Speaker 1: them in a conversation. Ready for this First, let's listen
Speaker 1: to dialogue between two Latinos, Jessica and me Marco. This
Speaker 1: is guy is looking at a picture of her family,
Speaker 1: and I ask questions about them. To know who we're
Speaker 1: talking about, we use physical descriptions. Pay close attentions to
Speaker 1: the words used to describe last personas here we go.
Speaker 2: La Marco, Bennie to Grassias, I can Facebook, You're not
Speaker 2: as photos. The familia are kens a lombri alto de
Speaker 2: la poto as smithyo Luis.

Speaker 1: heir baja.
Speaker 2: Ahma, la familia jama.
Speaker 1: Loreto gilombre moreno esto.
Speaker 2: I say, you know you jam Carlos.
Speaker 1: Two difficult. Let's break it down. They talk about four
Speaker 1: people THEO Louis, uncle, Louis, mama, mom, lorretto unamiga. They
Speaker 1: are familiar, a friend's family, and Carlos a nobio de Loretto,
Speaker 1: Loretto's boyfriend. Let's go over this vocabulary. Repeat after me
Speaker 1: to practice your pronunciation. T O, mama, amiga dey la
Speaker 1: familiar nobio good. Let's check how they talk about height.
Speaker 1: I asked about the tall men in the picture a
Speaker 1: lombri alto. Alto means tall, alto and for a woman
Speaker 1: alta so alto for a man, alta for a woman,
Speaker 1: and the opposite of alto is bajo short. In the dialogue,
Speaker 1: Loretto is baja, she is short. A common confusion by
Speaker 1: English speakers is saying corto for short, but corto is
Speaker 1: used for length, not height, so for short, referring to
Speaker 1: height in a person is bajo. So the two adjectives
Speaker 1: are alto and bajo. What about you, it is alto
Speaker 1: o bajo. Let's check now the hair color el color,
Speaker 1: the pelow. Jessica's mom is Rubia Rubia means blonde rubia,
Speaker 1: and for a man it's rubio, so rubio rubia. Jessica's
Speaker 1: mom is rubia, but she has fellow the needle, tied
Speaker 1: her pelow the needle, and why does she tye her
Speaker 1: pellow because she has ghanas. Ghanas means gray hair. We
Speaker 1: have a specific word for gray hair in Spanish, ghanas,
Speaker 1: So that's about Jessica's mom her theo Luis has fellow
Speaker 1: negro black hair, so rubio is bland and pelo negro
Speaker 1: is black hair. We also talk about the shape of
Speaker 1: el pelo l t o luis dna el pelo liso.
Speaker 1: Beelo liso means straight hair, and lorito dna el pelo
Speaker 1: risado pelo risado curly hair, So liso and risado are opposites.
Speaker 1: Repeat after me beelo liso, pelo risado. And finally, skin
Speaker 1: color el color de la piel pill mes skin, el
Speaker 1: TiO luis dna la piel blanca white skin, and carlos
Speaker 1: is moreno moreno is used for durst skin moreno. Okay,
