Spanish Body Parts Vocabulary — Words to Hear and Play

Few topics come up as early as the body — at the doctor's, describing how you feel, or just pointing at what hurts. This page gathers the essential Spanish vocabulary for parts of the body, from la cabeza (head) and el ojo (eye) to la boca (mouth) and el brazo (arm), each with its English meaning, its pronunciation and a button to hear it spoken in a native voice. A note for English speakers: as always in Spanish, learn the article with the word, because gender isn't always guessable — la mano (hand) is feminine despite ending in -o, a classic exception. Spanish also tends to use the definite article where English uses "my": you say the equivalent of "I washed the hands", not "my hands". And the spelling stays friendly — sound a word out once and you've mostly got it. Tap any 🔊 to listen, skim the table, then take these into Linguver, where the English word drops and you shoot its Spanish translation from the drum.
