I bet we can get very different descriptions here! Practice descriptions…

    Sorry! I made a mistake. I posted the message below under “Enjoyable excursions!”.

    :O

    Not long ago, it seemed to me that many Spanish people were not too tall, and that they dressed in a few colours - navy blue, brown, black. Nowadays I’m not sure of that any longer…

    My best friend has red hair. She’s tall and thin and has freckles. Her eyes are green with bits in yellow! I think she doesn’t look Spanish, but she is! I think she looks… Well, I don’t know… I’d better ask her first.

    My hair is dark brown. I get burgundy highlights, to make it more colourful. I am shorter and less thin!!! My eyes are dark brown. I suppose I look more Spanish…

    Most of my friends are Spanish-type, I mean, brown hair, round and lively faces and not very tall. my case is a bit different since I am kind of “old-fashion version of Spanish womanhood”: long black and curly hair, a little plump, in a Betty Boop style and sometimes wear big earings. Too much Spanish for modern times I would say!

    Hi there! I understand what you mean, Juan. Sometimes I have the same feeling. People have told me that I look French, German, US American, Spanish (but Spanish people mostly think I’m a foreigner but that could be for more reasons that looks, really)… Hey, sonia, perhaps your friend looks French! (But I’m no expert!) Ana Otto, your description is really funny and I bet it’s accurate! ;)
    What about this idea? I think Spanish people are mostly identified because we are loud!!! We tend to make lots of noise whatever we do — speak, laugh…
