Photo Description Basics

When describing a photo in Spanish, you need some key location phrases to position what you can see. Start with "En la foto" (In the photo) to introduce your description.

Use "A la izquierda" (To the left) or "A la derecha" (To the right) to explain where things are positioned. For central elements, say "En el centro" (In the middle), and use "Al fondo" (In the background) for distant objects.

You can mention specific features like "un bosque" (a forest), "una playa" (a beach), or "un rรญo" (a river). Remember to use "hay" thereis/arethere is/are to introduce elements in the photo.

๐Ÿ’ก When describing photos in your exam, always mention at least three different elements and their positions to show off your vocabulary range!

More Photo Description Vocabulary

Adding descriptions makes your answer more impressive. Use "Es..." (It is) with adjectives like "bonito/a" (pretty), "histรณrico/a" (historic), or "tranquilo/a" (calm). Remember to match the adjective ending with the gender of the noun!

These simple phrases can help you create a detailed description in just a few sentences. Combining location phrases with descriptive adjectives will earn you higher marks in your speaking and writing assessments.

๐Ÿ’ก Try to use at least two different adjectives when describing a place to demonstrate your vocabulary knowledge!

Digital Life - Online Activities

How much time do you spend online? In Spanish, use "Paso" (I spend) with a number and "hora(s) en lรญnea" (hour(s) online) to tell people about your screen time.

When describing what you do online, use verbs like "mando" (I send) or "recibo" (I receive) with nouns like "mensajes" (messages) or "correos electrรณnicos" (emails). For entertainment, say "juego a los videojuegos" (I play videogames) or "veo series" (I watch series).

Add frequency expressions to show how often you do these activities: "Siempre" (Always), "A menudo" (Often), "A veces" (Sometimes), "Casi nunca" (Hardly ever) or "Nunca" (Never). This makes your answers more detailed and interesting.

๐ŸŒŸ Examiners love to see frequency expressions in your answers as they show off your ability to form more complex sentences!

Expressing your opinions about technology is a common topic in GCSE Spanish. Start with phrases like "En mi opiniรณn" (In my opinion) or "Creo que" (I think that) to introduce your thoughts.

Give reasons for your preferences using "porque es" (because it is) with adjectives like "divertido/a" (fun), "relajante" (relaxing), or "emocionante" (exciting). For things you dislike, use "No me gusta(n)" (I don't like) or "Odio" (I hate).

More specific activities include "monto en bici" (I go cycling), "voy al gimnasio" (I go to the gym), or "paso tiempo con mi familia" (I spend time with my family). These phrases help you talk about a wide range of free time activities.

Hobbies - Past Tense

Talking about what you did in the past is a key skill for your GCSE Spanish. Start with a time phrase like "Ayer" (Yesterday), "La semana pasada" (Last week), or "El fin de semana pasado" (Last weekend).

Use past tense verbs like "juguรฉ" (I played), "fui" (I went), or "escuchรฉ mรบsica" (I listened to music) to describe your activities. These are all examples of the preterite tense, which describes completed actions in the past.

Add details about who you were with using "con" (with) followed by "mi familia" (my family), "mi mejor amigo/a" (my best friend), or "mi hermano/a" mybrother/sistermy brother/sister. Include specific places like "al parque" (to the park) or "al centro comercial" (to the shopping centre).

Holidays - Usual Activities and Past Holidays

When discussing summer activities, start with "En verano" (In summer) or "En las vacaciones" (In the holidays) and use "(no) suelo" (I (don't) usually) to talk about habitual actions. For example, "Suelo ir a la playa" (I usually go to the beach) or "No suelo ver pelรญculas" (I don't usually watch films).

For group activities, use "(no) solemos" (we (don't) usually) with activities like "montar en bici" (go bike riding) or "comer los platos tรญpicos" (eat typical dishes). This shows you can talk about habits and routines.

To discuss past holidays, use time markers like "El verano pasado" (Last summer) or "Hace aรฑos" (Years ago) with past tense verbs like "fui" (I went) or "fuimos" (we went). Include destinations like "a un parque temรกtico" (to a theme park) or "al mercado" (to the market).

โญ Remember that "suelo" + infinitive (present habit) and "fui" (past action) show two different time frames - using both in your answers will impress the examiner!

Holidays - Opinions on Past Trips

After describing where you went on holiday, you'll need to express how you felt about it. When asked "ยฟQuรฉ tal fue?" (How was it?), you have several options to respond.

For positive experiences, use "Me encantรณ" (I loved it) or "Me gustรณ" (I liked it) followed by reasons using "porque fue" (because it was) with adjectives like "increรญble" (incredible) or "emocionante" (exciting).

If you didn't enjoy the trip, say "No me gustรณ" (I didn't like it) or for stronger feelings, "No me gustรณ nada" (I didn't like it at all). Add explanations with adjectives like "aburrido/a" (boring) or "terrible" (terrible).

๐Ÿ’ก Always be ready to justify your opinions with a "porque fue..." statement - simply saying "me gustรณ" without a reason won't get you many marks!

Holidays - Future Travel Wishes

Discussing your travel wishes is perfect for showing off your use of the conditional tense. Start with "Me gustarรญa ir a" (I'd like to go to) followed by destinations like "รfrica" (Africa), "Europa" (Europe), or "Amรฉrica Latina" (Latin America).

You can specify when you'd like to travel using "Me gustarรญa ir en" (I'd like to go in) with seasons: "primavera" (spring), "verano" (summer), "otoรฑo" (autumn), or "invierno" (winter).

Talk about who you'd travel with using "Me gustarรญa ir con" (I'd like to go with) followed by "mi familia" (my family), "un grupo de amigos" (a group of friends), or even "solo/a" (alone). You can also mention preferred environments like "la costa" (the coast) or "la montaรฑa" (the mountains).

๐ŸŒŸ Using "me gustarรญa" (I would like) instead of "quiero" (I want) sounds more sophisticated and shows you can use the conditional tense correctly!

Discussing your travel wishes is perfect for showing off your use of the conditional tense. Start with "Me gustarรญa ir a" (I'd like to go to) followed by destinations like "รfrica" (Africa), "Europa" (Europe), or "Amรฉrica Latina" (Latin America).

You can specify when you'd like to travel using "Me gustarรญa ir en" (I'd like to go in) with seasons: "primavera" (spring), "verano" (summer), "otoรฑo" (autumn), or "invierno" (winter).

Talk about who you'd travel with using "Me gustarรญa ir con" (I'd like to go with) followed by "mi familia" (my family), "un grupo de amigos" (a group of friends), or even "solo/a" (alone). You can also mention preferred environments like "la costa" (the coast) or "la montaรฑa" (the mountains).

๐ŸŒŸ Using "me gustarรญa" (I would like) instead of "quiero" (I want) sounds more sophisticated and shows you can use the conditional tense correctly!

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didnโ€™t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as Iโ€™m sure you too will see developments.
