I'm making a family tree in Spanish and have to describe my relatives, just wanna make sure I'm writing it correctly.

How do you say:
"My family is big/large."
"I like to have fun."
"She talks a lot."
"She loves to sing."
"She's really nice."
"He sings and cooks very well."
"He's caring."
"He's funny, but kind of a brat."
"They are deceased/dead."
"He is deceased/dead."

Also, when you say older half-sister is this right? Mi media hermana mayor or mi medio hermana mayor? Please correct me! Thank you!

"My family is big/large."
Mi familia es grande


"I like to have fun."
A mí me gusta gozar


"She talks a lot."
Ella habla mucha

"She loves to sing."
A ella le encanta cantar (um, you wouldn't say "ella ama cantar" like someone before me put, you would only use the verb amar when talking about a person you love ex. "es obvio que tu mamá te ama mucha" "It's obvious that your mom loves you a lot" when talking about a thing you love you would use the verb "encantar")

"She's really nice."
Ella es muy simpática

"He sings and cooks very well."
él canta y cocina muy bien

"He's caring."
él es amable (I wasn't sure how to say "caring" so i put "kind" however saying "cuidando" would be caring as in I am caring or looking after my little brother)

"He's funny, but kind of a brat."
él es cómico pero un poco mocoso

"They are deceased/dead."
Ellos están muertos

"He is deceased/dead."
él está muerto

And you're right, it'd be mi media hermana mayor, since "a" is feminine you would kick of the "o" ending of an adjective and replace it with an "a" when applying it to a girl. (If you were talking about your step brother it'd be "mi medio hermano mayor" but since you're talking about your step sis and that's feminine you'd say "mi media hermana mayor")

"My family is big": Mi familia es grande.

"I like to have fun": Me gusta divertirme.

"She talks a lot": Ella habla mucho.

"She loves to sing": A ella le encanta cantar.

"She's really nice": Ella es muy simpatica.

"He sings and cooks very well": El canta y cocina muy bien.

"He's caring": I can't find a translation for caring, so maybe just use nice again? That would be "El es simpatico."

"He's funny, but kind of a brat": El es chistoso, pero un poco molesto.

"They are dead": Ellos (or ellas if they're all female) estan muertos (or muertas if they're all female).

"He is dead": El esta muerto.

"My older half-sister": Mi media hermana mayor.

!Ojala que esta informacion te ayuda! (I hope this helps!)

There are a few methods of expressing this. No hablo español bien. Mi español es mal. Hablo español mal. Normally, any Spanish-talking man or woman with whom you're talking will mechanically deny what you could have simply stated. I doubt that their praises will pass in your head, however do not quit looking to upgrade your talking expertise, something the case. It will open up such a lot of home windows of possibility to you for interacting with different folks. Native Spanish-audio system, in particular folks who have now not but been capable to be taught English, may even have all of the extra admire for you.
