learning objectives for today
today's learning objective is students
will learn
adjectives to describe people in spanish
simple sometimes simple things are
better than complicated things
so basically you will learn new
adjectives to describe
people's physical appearance and
personality
and the success criteria reads students
will be able to use adjectives to
describe people in spanish
using good pronunciation let's begin
agradable pleasant
a gra da
bless
when we say that somebody is agradable
we're saying that the person is pleasant
let's see an example example example
pedro es agradable
pira is nice or pleasant
pedro is agradable
pedro
attractive attractive
is used if you're talking about a man or
a boy
attractive if you're talking about a
female
some adjectives agenda such as this one
isabel is muy attractiva
that means that elizabeth is very
attractive
isabel is muy muy means
very attractive if it was pedro it would
be
attractive next adjectivo
alto o alta which means tall
like this guy here i think he plays
basketball he's very tall
muy alto alto
nice short and simple alto
let's see an example juan es
alto that means that john is tall
juan is alto and if you wanted to say
he's very tall
you would say juan is muy alto
make sure you pronounce the o as an o
sympatico
that actually means nice so
a male would be would be simpatico
a female would be simpatica sympathica
[Music]
jenny and peter are nice juanite pedro
son that means are simpaticos
nice
bueno buena that means
good like this guy he's like an angel
this guy is bueno he's a male
bueno if he was a female it would be
buena anyway let's see an example to
understand this
to understand this in a sentence marco
is a buena persona
mark is a good person marco is
persona person in spanish his persona
ends with an a so it's buena even though
we're talking about a male
bajo or baja short
[Music]
the j sounds like a h
let's see an example
[Music]
is very short mario es muy bajo
he was a female like teresa
teresa es esmoy baja in mexico they say
chaparro that's mexican island for short
bonito or bonita
beautiful bonito you can talk about an
automobile
bin bonito car bonito
coche bonito this guy
is a female so she is bonita
maria is muy bonita
mary is very beautiful this girl here is
maria
[Music]
see if you can repeat after me
pronunciation is very important
this one is very similar to the english
word elegance
[Music]
[Music]
paul is very elegant
pablo es muy elegante
that's right he's even wearing a tuxedo
doing a bit of yoga
pablo
[Music]
famous this guy seems to be
very famoso get a few cameras pointing
at him
famoso v
is famoso p from bts is famous just an
example for our younger audience
teresa is muy famosa
cherisa is very famous
shakira is muy famosa shakira is
famosa shakir is very famous you get the
idea
the next one fail or fair that means
ugly fail
fair don't go around calling anyone feel
fear it's not nice
okay so fail means ugly fair
means ugly as well but the difference is
fair is for a male
fear for a female an example would be
like this cat that cat is ugly
esegato is feel he say
if it was a female cat you would say esa
gata is fair
that's right
[Music]
flacco that means
repeat after me flacco please make sure
that the o is pronounced like an
o do not pronounce it as an o
that sounds doesn't exist in spanish
carol is very skinny carlos
es muy flacco
[Music]
carlos es muy flacco
please do not read it as carlos is muy
flacco
that's incorrect and i highlight this
because this is very common among
english speakers big
grande grande
that means big like this dog german
shepherd
this one is a big german shepherd i got
a german shepherd actually in a
yorkshire
me perro es grande my dog is
big me perro
because he's double r is grande my dog
is big
if you struggle pronouncing the perro
sound you can say perform some spanish
countries pronounce the double are a
little bit softer
gordo or gorda fat
gordo gorda
gordo fo males in gorda for females
gordo or gorda
and the ejemplo reads bernardo es
or you can say estan poco gordo bernard
is a bit
fat now this depends because we use set
and start to be
sometimes being fat is temporarily can
be fixed it's fixable
so you could use esta un poco gordo
maybe an example he won't be next
objective or ribley horrible
this is a classic example this is a
classic example connecting words in both
languages
same spelling but different
pronunciation
or ribley you don't pronounce the h
if you wanted to say what a horrible
movie
you would say que pelico la mas or rible
que pelicula that means what a movie we
studied that in
the previous videos mas auriuble
what a horrible movie movie in so time
to do some
work in class okay so today you're going
to be working
in groups arriving again guess who
so write a description of a classmate in
your school by writing
10 sentences to describe him or her so
think about someone in your class

physical appearance

or refer to this lesson and its
illustrations in order to assist you
describing your chosen classmates
so the students you are working in your
group will have to guess who are you
describing
whoever discovers the identity of the
classmate you described
wins and starts the next round
