Room And Parts Of A House.
This section looks at Spanish words of parts of the house: different rooms,
furniture, ornaments etc. We'll also include one or two phrases, e.g. for
describing which room something or somebody is in. This page concentrates on
rooms, names of floors plus some Spanish vocabulary for describing parts of the building itself. The next page then
looks at Spanish words for furniture and ornaments.
See also: daily routine vocabulary, which includes some Spanish words to
do with cleaning and chores.
