Speaker 1: In this episode, you learn how to describe your friend's
Speaker 1: personalities in espanel using basic personality adjectives as he TiVos
Speaker 1: the personally that. This is a great topic for making
Speaker 1: small talk in espanel. Ready for this first, let's listen
Speaker 1: to a short dialogue between two amigos Jesse and me Marco.
Speaker 1: We talk about our siblings. One of us describes positive
Speaker 1: personality traits and the other not so positive. While you listen,
Speaker 1: keep in mind this question, what words are you used

Speaker 1: is persoso antipatico. It is cortes that. Then again, in
Speaker 1: this conversation with a lot of vocabulary you've already learned
Speaker 1: in previous episodes, Jessica talks about her Ermana sister and
Speaker 1: I talk about me ermano. If you're still struggling with
Speaker 1: family vocabulary, check out episode sixteen La Familia. I asked
Speaker 1: Jessica come os to Hermana. Como is is a question
Speaker 1: you use for descriptions. It means what is the person like?
Speaker 1: In Spanish, we use the verb ser to be ser
Speaker 1: to talk about personality, traits and permanent characteristics. That's why
Speaker 1: the question is com os are not comsta com oz
Speaker 1: what is somebody like? But comosta how is he or
Speaker 1: she doing? So? When you want to know someone's personalities,
Speaker 1: say come os plus the person you're asking about. For example,
Speaker 1: come os to Padre, what is your father like? Come
Speaker 1: os to Hermana, what is your sister like? Come os
Speaker 1: to ami go what is your friend like? To reply,
Speaker 1: you use the verb sir plus personality adjective. In the dialogue.
Speaker 1: Jessica says meremana is plus personality adjectives, and I say,
Speaker 1: mermano is plus personality adjectives. After is in English, you
Speaker 1: simply add the description. More on that next. Let's go
Speaker 1: over the adjectives. But first, did you catch the words
Speaker 1: we use in the dialogue. I'll give you a few
Speaker 1: seconds to think of your answer. Ready, Let's see. Jessica
Speaker 1: says her sister is sympathica, meaning likable, be careful. Sympathica
Speaker 1: looks like the English word sympathetic, but is different. Sympathica
Speaker 1: means a nice, friendly person, nothing to do with sympathetic.
Speaker 1: She also says extrovertida extroverted and a leg tearful. Let's
Speaker 1: practice pronunciation slow first, and then add anormous speed. Repeat
Speaker 1: after me slow sympatica extrovertiva a legy, normal speed sympathica
Speaker 1: extrovertida a legy. Now, let's see how describe my brother.
Speaker 1: I use four words in the dialogue. Did you catch them?
Speaker 1: They are bobo, petty so so, anti patico, and escort.
Speaker 1: This Bobo means stupid or dumb, not the nicest word
Speaker 1: to use. It's not a bust as a courseword like
Speaker 1: mother care, but still not polite. Let's continue. Petty so
Speaker 1: so is lazy and antipatico unpleasant or unlikable. It's the
Speaker 1: opposite of sympatico. And finally, this court taste impolite or wrote.
Speaker 1: So let's practice this repeat after me slow bo bo
Speaker 1: petty so so anti partico. This court taste at anormous
Speaker 1: pied bobo petty so so antipatico this court test. And
Speaker 1: now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to the
Speaker 1: dialogue again. Ready, here we go, Jessica comstas bienni too
