Body and health,
level by level

The parts of the body in Spanish, from la cabeza to los pies, plus the health words that go with them: sick, doctor, medicine, pain. Spanish uses the article, not "my", for your own body: me duele la cabeza is "my head hurts".

In Lock&Learn Spanish these words sit in their level packs (Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and more), one per glance on the widget: a word waits on the widget, readable from day one; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence. Beginner is free in full; every other pack opens with a free preview.

Type to filter by word or meaning. Flashcards hides the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.
