- Lucas: Luna, bonjour! Welcome back to Learn French with Fexingo. Luna: Hey Lucas! I'm ready for more French. What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're going to talk about body parts. Very useful for describing aches and pains. Luna: Oh, like at the doctor? I remember we did some phrases for that. Lucas: Exactly! So let's start with the head. In French, head is la tête. Say it with me: la tête. Luna: la tête. Lucas: Good. Now, la tête. Again. Luna: la tête. Lucas: Perfect. Next, the arm. That's le bras. Try it. Luna: le bras. Lucas: Yes! le bras. And the leg is la jambe. Luna: la jambe. Lucas: Great. One more: the foot is le pied. Luna: le pied. Lucas: Now let's put them together. I'll say the English, you say the French. Head. Luna: la tête. Lucas: Arm. Luna: le bras. Lucas: Leg. Luna: la jambe. Lucas: Foot. Luna: le pied. Lucas: Excellent! Now, let's use them in a phrase. Remember when we learned 'J'ai mal à la tête'? That means 'I have a headache'. Luna: J'ai mal à la tête. So head is la tête, and J'ai mal à la tête. Lucas: Exactly. Can you say that? Luna: J'ai mal à la tête. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what if you have a sore arm? You could say J'ai mal au bras. Notice it's 'au' instead of 'à la' because bras is masculine. Luna: Oh right, le bras so au. J'ai mal au bras. Lucas: Yes! And for leg: J'ai mal à la jambe. Try it. Luna: J'ai mal à la jambe. Lucas: And foot? J'ai mal au pied. Luna: J'ai mal au pied. Lucas: Awesome. Let's do a quick scene. Imagine I'm a doctor, and you're the patient. I ask: Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas? What's wrong? Luna: J'ai mal à la tête. Lucas: Ah, a headache. Anything else? Luna: Et j'ai mal au pied. Lucas: Oh no, your foot too? Let me see. Okay, take this medicine. Now you try saying you have a sore leg. Luna: J'ai mal à la jambe. Lucas: Great. And an arm? Luna: J'ai mal au bras. Lucas: You're a natural. Let's review all the body parts one more time. Repeat after me: la tête. Luna: la tête. Lucas: le bras. Luna: le bras. Lucas: la jambe. Luna: la jambe. Lucas: le pied. Luna: le pied. Lucas: And the phrase: J'ai mal à la tête. Luna: J'ai mal à la tête. Lucas: Perfect. You did a great job today, Luna. Luna: Thanks Lucas! I feel like I can describe my aches now. Lucas: That's the idea. Keep practicing these words and phrases. Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. See you next time! Luna: À bientôt!
