Introduction

You have learned to introduce yourself in French and talk about where you go and what you like do each day. Now, it is time to talk about your physical appearance and your personality. Are you a blond or a brunette? Are you outgoing or shy? In this lesson, you will learn many adjectives to describe your physical features, as well as your personality. You can also use these adjectives to describe your friends and family members. Pay close attention when you use adjectives because they must agree with the nouns they describe in gender and number. Also, when describing yourself and others, you will need to use the verb être, and it is an irregular verb.
