When I started learning Spanish, one of the first things I focused on was
body parts — they come up everywhere in conversations, at the doctor,
describing people, and even in everyday small talk.
Here are 20 essential ones with pronunciation tips:
🇪🇸 Head → la cabeza
🇪🇸 Neck → el cuello
🇪🇸 Chest → el pecho
🇪🇸 Shoulder → el hombro
🇪🇸 Arm → el brazo
🇪🇸 Knee → la rodilla
🇪🇸 Foot → el pie
🇪🇸 Back → la espalda
🇪🇸 Hand → la mano
🇪🇸 Skull → el cráneo
🇪🇸 Lung → el pulmón
🇪🇸 Heart → el corazón
🇪🇸 Wrist → la muñeca
🇪🇸 Elbow → el codo
🇪🇸 Ankle → el tobillo
🇪🇸 Thumb → el pulgar
🇪🇸 Finger → el dedo
🇪🇸 Forehead → la frente
🇪🇸 Chin → el mentón
🇪🇸 Cheek → la mejilla
**Quick tip:** The trick that helped me memorize these faster was
associating each word with a real image — not just text translation.
Your brain remembers visuals much better than word-for-word translation.
I actually made a short video using this exact method (DK Visual Dictionary
approach)
