La ropa — the clothes review

Module 5 of the free Spanish course (CEFR A2 mastery + the B1 bridge), lesson 9 of 30: Clothes, fit and the shop, replayed as one scene: Busco un abrigo. On this page: 9 words with their genders and respellings, the rule, a watch-out line and the audio — the study notes behind the workbook's QR.

La regla · The rule

Clothes, fit and the shop, replayed as one scene: Busco un abrigo. Esta talla es demasiado pequeña. ¿Me lo puedo probar? ¡Perfecto, me lo llevo!

Y también · And also

Perfecto — perfect: the word that closes every good errand. Llevo un vestido azul y un sombrero. The colors still follow the noun.

Ojo · Watch out

demasiado pequeña agrees with the noun it describes: esta talla es demasiado pequeña. demasiado itself never changes.

Do it now — on paper

  1. Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with el abrigo.
  2. Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
  3. Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 9 in Module 5 are the written half of this page.

This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
