Colours and Shapes
Contents: Spanish phrases including audio
The world around us is full of objects with their shape and colour. Ever since we were children, we’ve made use of colours to describe things. Just think of how many times we mention them during any given day. The same way, shapes and sizes will help you specify what you mean: Do you need the small and yellow one or this big and blue? Listen carefully to the audio and repeat the name of each colour.
