De la cabeza a los pies

De la cabeza a los pies — from head to toe. Learn each part of the body with its article: you'll need the article the moment something hurts.

Start with the head:

Spanish English
la cabeza the head
el ojo — los ojos the eye — the eyes
la nariz the nose
la boca the mouth
el diente — la muela the tooth — the back tooth, molar
la garganta the throat
la oreja the ear (the outside)
el oído the ear (the inside, for hearing)

Spanish has two words for ear. The oreja is the part you can see; the oído is the inner ear — so an earache is dolor de oído.
