Point at the family photo — mi madre, mi hermano, the tall one with curly hair. Naming family and describing people is one of the first real conversations you'll have, turning vocabulary into stories about who you love.
La familia
Family words: madre (mother), padre (father), hermana (sister), hermano (brother), abuela (grandmother), abuelo (grandfather). To describe people you use adjectives like alto/alta (tall) and simpático/simpática (nice) — and they change ending to match whether the person is male or female.
In Spanish, adjectives match the noun's gender: 'mi hermano es alto' but 'mi hermana es alta'. The ending -o/-a shifts to agree.
