Hyphenated compund adjectives using parts of the body.
Hi guys, I would like to know if some of you know about a rule or explanation related with the grammatical construction of compund adjectives that include parts of the body, I have to explain this topic in a lesson that is going to be call "Describe the boy/girl of your dreams using the composed description", so I have some doubts about it, because the person that asked me to prepare the lesson gave me an example that is something that I don't know how to explain.
The examples that I have is:
A big-eyed girl (here I have "eyes" but as "eyed" = A girl with big eyes)
So, I will appreciate your help, and if you can give me other examples that I can use will be great.
You can answer my doubt in English or Spanish there is no problem for me.
Have an excellent day! :)

The Internet, apps and social media as a new tool for learning a foreign language (essay part 2)
Networking knowledge and its effect on new students
The pedagogue Paulo Freire says that “Nobody knows everything, and nobody ignores everything, that is the reason everyone learns from others”. Therefore, team working allows a cooperative environment. As a consequence, new students involved in networking improve their communicative competence. Also, they learn to reason in a critical manner. As a result of the advantages mentioned above, networking knowledge improves the development of social skills, and if people apply these tools when they are learning a foreign language, the result will be amazing (Jubany, 2013).
Conclusion
Overall the traditional methods in learning process -specially in the acquisition of a new language- are progressively being replaced for the use of new technologies. We can see the relevance of the Internet and social media as an important part of the new process of learning a foreign language. The main recommendation is that through the use of the Internet and social networking, new generations can have access to create better opportunities regarding to linguistic skills, and as a consequence get a good performance in their environment.

The Internet, apps and social media as a new tool for learning a foreign language (essay part 1)
Introduction
Can the Internet, apps and social media be used while acquiring a foreign language?
In the following essay, the reader would have the opportunity to have to read how important is the learning environment in the learning process. Additionally, this text would have an approach of using constructivism and connectivism. Also, learning environment is an important aspect schools and professors need to consider for the teacher learning process because this practice has been impacted by the use of the Internet. On the other hand, networking is presented as an important tool for getting a foreign language. Nowadays, constructivism is used to teach a language using a context. Finally, this essay pretends to let know to the people the advantages of the Internet, apps and social media as a new tool for learning a foreign language.
The Internet, apps and social media as a new tool for learning a foreign language
The personal learning environment (PLE) is one of the principal factors to acquire a new language.
Nowadays, people learn using different technology tools and content about every topic. Actually, the PLE is full of options as social networking, apps, and media content. Learners can choose to subscribe to the newsletter on the website as well as a YouTube channel. Besides, they can participate in forums in a variety of topics. As a result, PLE can be adapted to the needs of every person who is interested in order to acquire a special knowledge to improve his or her skills (Jubany, 2013).
People move from social constructivism to connectivism.
According to constructivists, each person acquires knowledge related into the environment and experiences that already has. As a consequence, new learners do not just take the knowledge around them. In fact, they "construct" their own understandings and knowledge (Brown, 2007). Comparable with this, the connectivism theory states students are able to learn and share their knowledge across the world by the Internet. In other words, they are moving from social constructivism to connectivism, certainly, because of needs and requirements of the actual society. In conclusion, connectivism is creating new opportunities for new generations who want to improve their skills, it does not matter what they wish to learn if most of the knowledge is on the web (Siemens, 2005).

What's the best way, if I want to say "Yo nunca llego tarde" in English?
Hola, me gustaría que algún nativo me explicara si es posible expresar en inglés la frase en forma afirmativa "Yo nunca llego tarde" , ya que en mi clase de inglés en la universidad yo la expresé como "I never be late!" pero mi maestra me corrigió la expresión por "I'm never late" , esto porque yo he visto el uso de "never" en expresiones afirmativas como "She never drinks milk", "You never told me that", gracias de antemano por su ayuda.
