Today we’re going to learn and practice some colors in Spanish.

Today’s question comes from Rob, one of my newsletter subscribers. Rob asked me: “Could we learn the colors in one of your podcast lessons? And could we have some examples of how to use them?”

Knowing the colors is very handy when you’re buying clothes and other items in Spanish. So, today, we’re going to master 10 Spanish colors.
