- 1:57Speaker 1: Two difficult. Let's break it down. They talk about four
- 2:01Speaker 1: people THEO Louis, uncle, Louis, mama, mom, lorretto unamiga. They
- 2:10Speaker 1: are familiar, a friend's family, and Carlos a nobio de Loretto,
- 2:17Speaker 1: Loretto's boyfriend. Let's go over this vocabulary. Repeat after me
- 2:22Speaker 1: to practice your pronunciation. T O, mama, amiga dey la
- 2:30Speaker 1: familiar nobio good. Let's check how they talk about height.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I asked about the tall men in the picture a
- 2:43Speaker 1: lombri alto. Alto means tall, alto and for a woman
- 2:50Speaker 1: alta so alto for a man, alta for a woman,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and the opposite of alto is bajo short. In the dialogue,
- 3:02Speaker 1: Loretto is baja, she is short. A common confusion by
- 3:07Speaker 1: English speakers is saying corto for short, but corto is
- 3:13Speaker 1: used for length, not height, so for short, referring to
- 3:17Speaker 1: height in a person is bajo. So the two adjectives
- 3:22Speaker 1: are alto and bajo. What about you, it is alto
- 3:28Speaker 1: o bajo. Let's check now the hair color el color,
- 3:34Speaker 1: the pelow. Jessica's mom is Rubia Rubia means blonde rubia,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and for a man it's rubio, so rubio rubia. Jessica's
- 3:48Speaker 1: mom is rubia, but she has fellow the needle, tied
- 3:53Speaker 1: her pelow the needle, and why does she tye her
- 3:58Speaker 1: pellow because she has ghanas. Ghanas means gray hair. We
- 4:05Speaker 1: have a specific word for gray hair in Spanish, ghanas,
- 4:09Speaker 1: So that's about Jessica's mom her theo Luis has fellow
- 4:15Speaker 1: negro black hair, so rubio is bland and pelo negro
- 4:21Speaker 1: is black hair. We also talk about the shape of
- 4:25Speaker 1: el pelo l t o luis dna el pelo liso.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Beelo liso means straight hair, and lorito dna el pelo
- 4:36Speaker 1: risado pelo risado curly hair, So liso and risado are opposites.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Repeat after me beelo liso, pelo risado. And finally, skin
