Before your next trip to Italy, you'll definitely want to learn some Italian words for body parts.

These words are perfect for pharmacy visits and pop up in many common Italian expressions.

And they are great for small talk. Italians are always talking about their aches and pains.

And there's no need to memorize the whole anatomy textbook for this.

It's more important to know how to talk about a few body parts in natural conversations.

So in this lesson, you'll learn some key Italian words and how to use them in typical Italian

conversations.

Music Italian conversations. Hi everyone and welcome to learn Italian with Joy of Languages.

Today's topic is something that I really wanted to

learn a hand with, but I realized it couldn't be done in a blink of an eye. It takes some time

to get your head around it. Wow, Matteo, these puns are really getting out of hand.

Terrible. Terrible. But you can, but I can't.

So, Matteo's just shown us how lots of everyday expressions contain body parts,

and that's true for Italian too.

Yes, and they're also really practical to know.

They're useful if you need to visit a pharmacy or you aren't feeling well.

And they're also a great way to make small talk because we all have a story about a bit of a pain

that we like to vent about. Italians love doing this. And so speaking of which in a second,

you'll hear Matteo and I using some of the body parts that are causing us the most grief as we go into our middle age.
