We also reviewed that the definite article the translates into el/la (singular) and los/las (plural) in Spanish:
El Alamo (the poplar) / Los Angeles (the angels)
La Joya (the jewel) / Las Vegas (the medows)
Homework for both groups (intro and intermediate)
1. Please practice the videos and online activities on the parts of the body we have been studying for the past two weeks.
2. Find a picture of your favorite character, actor, hero (or draw one ) and bring it to class with a basic description of his or her face and or body. Be prepared to present your description to your group and the class. Use a dictionary if you want to find adjectives other than colors: eg. grande (big), bonito/a (pretty), interesante (interesting), feo/a (ugly).
Please use es (is) and son (are) or tiene (has) to make full sentences like the examples below. Remember that adjectives in Spanish agree in gender and number with the noun they modify: bonito becomes bonita for femenine nouns and bonitos, bonitas in the plural.
El pelo es bonito,
La boca es bonita,
Los ojos son bonitos,
Las orejas son bonitas
Link es un elfo (an elf). Link tiene pelo amarillo o (or) rubio (blond); los ojos son azules. Link tiene dos orejas; las orejas son grandes (big). La nariz no es grande.
Other color coded examples from last week:
Mr. Potato tiene dos brazos rojos, dos pies amarillos y una boca grande
Mr. Potato has two red arms, two yellow feet and one big mouth
La boca de Mr. Potato es roja, la nariz es anaranjada y las orejas son verdes.
Mr. Potato's mouth is red, his nose is orange and his ears are green.
3. Watch this "crazy fast" video if you dare and see if you can understand anything (clue: tiene muchas partes, means it has a lot of parts. Also un/una means a or one. Es muy especial means it is very special).
