We have already studied them in some detail earlier in this course and I recommend going back over those other Spanish lessons on Ser and Estar if you have time and to also start working on your repertoire of Spanish adjectives.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a long list of Spanish adjectives and verbs up your sleeve you are in a much better position to handle yourself in a Spanish conversation. Work on ten to fifteen new Spanish adjectives every day and practice with them in lots of example sentences so that they are stored in your head rather than just in your books.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your Spanish studies and see you next time with another Spanish video lesson.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta luego!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly Spanish lessons.
