Learning Spanish words for shapes
I have to say that learning Spanish words for shapes wasn’t particularly high on my agenda. We’ve tended to learn the words and phrases that our own lives threw at us. But recently that changed and I realised that there was a gap to be filled. So… here you go…
Most of these are very similar to English, so this shouldn’t be too difficult a list to get your head around.
As part of your learning, try to use at least two of these in a conversation during the next 24 hours – then pop back and let us know how you did it. Good luck!
