Physical Descriptions ~ Spanish for Beginners

Spanish vocabulary used to describe someone physically - you can practice it by describing your friends and family.

Note that in the first section, the masculine singular form of the adjectives is listed (except for pretty, which is normally used to describe women), while in the second section, the adjectives are plural with eyes but singular with hair. For information on changing adjectives to agree with the word they are modifying, see my adjective lesson.
