  • Okay, so as I said, this is an advanced english lesson.

  • And in this particular lesson, we're looking at adjectives, and we're looking at 20.

  • Yeah, 20 adjectives to describe physical appearance.

  • Now, when we're describing people's physical appearance, we usually, in general terms, use words like short, tall, of average height, fat, skinny.

  • They're the sort of general words we use, and they're fine for that particular purpose.

  • But if you want something a little bit more adventurous or if you want to describe people you know or people you see, then you might want to have a look at these more, more advanced adjectives.

  • So when we want to be a little bit more particular in our description, and you'll find these sort of words very, very often in the written format.

  • Okay?

  • So you can use them quite easily in your conversational English.

  • Now, as I go through the list of these particular adjectives, I'll let you know if one or two of them, you have to be careful who you use them with because some people could take offense with some of the words.

  • And in the modern world of being PC or non PC, that means to be politically correct or non politically correct where people might be offended or take offense at some of the words, you just have to be a little bit more careful.

  • So I'll give you a warning in relation to them.

  • You still have to know these words because they are used quite freely and quite openly.
