New concept
De la tête aux pieds
De la tête aux pieds — from head to toe. Learn each part of the body with its article: you'll need the gender the moment something hurts. Start with the head:
| French | English |
|---|---|
| la tête | the head |
| l'œil — les yeux | the eye — the eyes |
| l'oreille (f) | the ear |
| le nez | the nose |
| la bouche | the mouth |
| la dent | the tooth |
| la gorge | the throat |
L'œil and les yeux look like two different words — and sound like it too: l'œil is roughly “luh-y”, les yeux “lay-zyeu”, with a liaison.
