Health and Well-being

Talking about how you feel — physically and emotionally — is a key part of expressing identity. This lesson builds body and health vocabulary and introduces two important grammar tools: reflexive verbs and the verb doler (to hurt), which works like gustar. Body vocabulary includes la cabeza (head), el estómago (stomach), la garganta (throat), la espalda (back), la pierna (leg), el brazo (arm), la mano (hand), el pie (foot), el ojo (eye), and el diente (tooth). Health words include el resfriado (a cold), la fiebre (fever), la tos (cough), el dolor (pain), la gripe (the flu), and la salud (health).

Reflexive verbs describe actions you do to yourself, and they appear constantly in daily routine and self-care. The reflexive pronoun matches the subject: me, te, se, nos, os, se. Common examples
