How would you show someone your arm hurts if you had no words for it? Watch a few classmates mime, then imagine you are abroad at night and you need the real German phrase.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight body parts in German
- Say that a part of you hurts
- Choose useful phrases if you are unwell abroad
You are at a night-duty Apotheke in Munich and need to tell the pharmacist what hurts. Listen to the German on each card first (article included), repeat it chorally, then flip to check the English. After each word we build Mir tut … weh (my … hurts). For teeth it changes: Mir tun die Zähne weh.
Still at the night-duty pharmacy desk: click each German body part, then its English meaning. Say the German quietly as you click each one, article included. When a pair is found, the class echoes the hurts line for that part.
Open your copy. Write one full sentence saying that a part of you hurts, like this model: Mir tut der Arm weh. (My arm hurts.) For teeth: Mir tun die Zähne weh.
- der Kopf — the head
- der Arm — the arm
- die Hand — the hand
- das Bein — the leg
