Guten Tag! Today I\u2019d like to take it back to basics and teach you what all of the different body parts are called in German. This topic is always useful, especially if you go to the doctor in Germany, for example. As there are so many different body parts and names for everything, I\u2019m going to split this into two posts. This first post will give the basic, simple names for different body parts, and a follow-up post will give more specific terminology (so in this post I\u2019ll give the word for \u2018hand\u2019 and in the next I\u2019ll give the word for \u2018palm\u2019, for example). So hopefully there will be something for everyone! Let\u2019s get started learning German anatomy!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now you’ve got the vocabulary, it’s time to test your knowledge. Study the body parts and then match the English words to the German in this short exercise. The answers are at the bottom of the page.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. der Mund ——————— A. Elbow<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. das Bein ———————- B. Chest<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are finding this difficult, go back and study the words some more and try the quiz again. Eventually you will begin to associate the German word with the English one, and vice-versa. Let me know how you get on! And stay tuned for part 2, where we will look at the body in a bit more depth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
