Describing People

How do you describe what someone looks like and what they are like in English? These quizzes give Spanish speakers the words for both appearance and personality, plus the moods in between.

Describing People in English for Spanish Speakers

Each quiz matches an English word to its Spanish meaning, blending looks with feelings from the very first set. You will learn appearance words like beautiful alongside emotions such as depressed, disappointed, and jealous, then move into inner traits like self-confident, shy, proud, and selfish.

The later set shifts from plain adjectives toward actions and moods, with phrases like to bother, to scare, and to be in a good mood. These quizzes run from beginner to intermediate and together cover a huge slice of everyday conversation about people.

Describing People with Audio Pronunciation

Longer describing words can be hard to say at first, so every quiz includes audio pronunciation of the English terms. You hear the word, repeat it, and feel ready to use it when you are actually talking about someone.

Did You Know?

Describing people is not only about adjectives. Many entries here are verbs and phrases, like to make laugh and to worry, which let you say what people do and how they affect others, not just how they appear.

Blending looks with feelings is a deliberate choice. In real conversation, what someone is like usually matters more than how they look, which is why these sets give personality words so much room.

How the Quizzes Work

Each quiz is short, about five minutes, and you can repeat any of the 3 sets whenever you want the words to stick. Learning a few traits at a time keeps the list from feeling overwhelming. Ready to describe the people in your life? Open the free interactive English quizzes and start here.
