Hello and bienninoidos at Coffee Break Spanish. Welcome to Coffee Break Spanish. This is lesson 28. And today we're talking about something that unfortunately happens when we're traveling, and that's taking ill and dealing with doctors and things like that. Hopefully it won't happen to you, but at least if it does, and if you've covered this lesson, then you'll know how to deal with it. I hope you enjoy the lesson.

Now we're going to start by learning how to say I'm not feeling very well. We've already learned the phrase, is, I'm So to make that a negative, we can simply make it. No, I'm sorry bien. No estoy bien. No I'm

but you can also use a verb in Spanish to say that you're feeling well. Me Siento bien. Me Siento bien. Now, me Siento is one of these reflexive verbs. That means it's something that you're doing to yourself normally.

For example, washing yourself, getting yourself dressed and so on. Now, me Siento doesn't really have a reflexive translation, but it's just a verb that you have to use in a reflexive way. So, me Siento, note that the me doesn't mean I. It sort of means to me. To me, I feel well. Me Siento bien. Me Siento bien.

To say I don't feel well then, you would say? And no me siento bien. No me siento bien. No me siento bien. No me siento bien. No me siento bien. And you can give more information by saying that you are ill. I'm enfermo.

I'm sorry infirmu. Now, Kara, in this situation, you wouldn't say, infermo you would say. Inferma. Inferma. Very well. Estoy infermo or if you're female. Estoy infirma. Note that this is estoy. Estoy, I am, but it's a temporary thing.

You're not saying soy infermo. That just wouldn't work because soy is used for permanent things. Estoy is temporary. It's how you're feeling. I'm infermo. So, no me siento bien, I'm trying repeating the whole of that and saying it correctly if you're female or male. No me siento bien, I'm sorry enfermo.

What would you say, Kara? No me siento bien, I'm infirma. Very well. Now, it's quite likely that if you were going to a doctor or a pharmacist and saying, no me siento bien, I'm sure, estoy enfermo, the doctor could ask you, Donde le dwele

Donde le dwele Donde le dwele You can work at one bit of that What's the Dondee part? Where? Yeah, and dwele means hurts. So where does it hurt you?

Donde le dwele? Dondi le dwele. Now the lea part there means to you. It's the polite form. Donde le dwele. And if the doctor was talking to a child, the doctor would probably say, Donde te dule.

Donde te dule. So, te or le means to you. Where is it hurting to you? To say, to me, it hurts. How would you say that? Me dule? Me dule. Very well.

me dole and then perhaps the most obvious thing or the most simple thing would be to say me dole here and point to wherever it is sore me dole here me dole here me dwell here or of course you could say what part of your body is sore so we'll need to learn some parts of the body now let's start with something that quite often gets sore la Cabeza

La Cabeza La Cabeza or La Cabeza in Latin America is the head la Cabeza So to say I have a sore head

you would say me dwele la caecaveza Another translation of this would be My head is sore Why did the Spanish say me dole la cabeza and not meduelly my

cabeza? That's a very good question. In fact it's just one of those things, to me is hurting the head, as opposed to me is hurting my head. I suppose the logic is that it's unlikely that anyone else's head is hurting you. So me dole la cava. Me duly la cava. As opposed to me dule my cabeza, which you wouldn't say. So Cabeza or Cabeza is the head.

Something else that might be sore is El Estomago. Your stomach or the stomach. El estomago. So how would you say my stomach is sore? Me dwele the stomacho. Me duly el estomago. Very well.

Me dule the stomach. Me duly the stomach. Another part of the body that may be sore is La Garganta. La Garganta. La Garganta is your throat. La Garganta. La Garganta.

One way of remembering what garganta means is that the word gargall means something to do with your throat, gargling with mouthwash or salt water or something like that. Garganta. Garganta. Me dole la garganta. Me duly la garganta. Or perhaps, me dule la garganta. Or maybe not.

Okay, moving on, let's learn some other parts of the body. La piera. La piera. is the leg, La Pierna. La Pierna. So we've got Cabeza. Cteza?

Estomago. Estomago. Garganta. Garnata. Pierna. And let's learn brazo. Brazo. Or in Latin America,

Brasso. Brasso. Arm. Brasso, El Braco, is the arm. How would you say my arm is sore, or my arm hurts me? Me duly the brazo. Very well. Me dule el brazo. Or in Latin America, me dole the brazo. Okay, we'll be back in just a moment.

It's our mission to help you turn your downtime into your due time. Okay, let's get on with the lesson.

Up until now, all the parts of the body that we've learned are singular parts of the body. Obviously, we normally have two legs, dos piernas and two arms, dos brazos, but we've been talking about me dole el brazo, me duly la piera, me dule el stomago and so on. If we were talking about my legs are sore, then it wouldn't be me dule, but me duelen. Duelen. Exactly. Me duelen. Me duelen.

So, Kara, how would you say my arms are sore? Me duelen los brazos. Me dueling, los brazos. Very well. There are a couple of other words for parts of the body that we can learn. The word for eye is ojo. Ojo. And therefore, eyes are

Ojos Ojos, very How would you say My eye is sore Me dwele el ojo And my eyes are sore Me dule

los ojos Very well Me dulein Los Ojos Something else that may be sore especially if you've been swimming in the sea sometimes is La Oreja

La Oreja La oreja is the ear. So my ear is sore. Me dule the orreja. My ears are sore. Me duelen las orejas. Me dule in las orejas. Very well.

Just a few more words. And then we'll move on to something else. The word for foot is el pié el pie now if you've done French then you'll recognize

le pi it's spelled slightly differently P-I-E el pie el pie and obviously the feet are

los pies los pies another word may be la boca la boca and again this

very much like the French word la bush la boca is the word for mouth exactly la boca is your mouth la nae

la narith la narith la narith is the word for the nose la narith and in Latin America it would be la nariz

la naris exactly we're going to learn one more word and that That is el ombro. El ombro. Now notice that ombro starts with an H. It's a silent H.

El ombro. El ombro. And el ombro is the shoulder. So how would you say my shoulder is sore? Me duly el ombro. Me dule el ombro. Very well. Now, I'm sure that knowing us,

you've probably worked out that we've been learning certain words that will help us sing a song that I'm sure you're all very familiar with. Let's think about some of the words we've learned. La Cabeza. La Cabeza. Which means the head. El Ombro. And El Ombro is. Shoulder. Then we learned La Piera. La Pierna. La Pierna literally means leg.

Okay, but legs quite close to knees Yeah And el pi El pie means foot And although they are part of your foot Foot is quite close to toes

Yeah So we've got head, shoulders, knees and toes Or in Spanish Head, shoulders legs and feet Cabeza Ombro Pierna

Pee Very good So let's think about how we would put these into the plural. We would start with Cabeza, Ombros, Piernas, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers. Cabeza, Ombros, Piernas, Piers, Piers, Piers. Then we had eyes and ears and mouth and nose. So eyes where? Ojos?

Ears. Orejas? Orejas? Mouth. Boca and nose. Nairith. Okay, so Ojo's, Orejas,

Boca and Narith. Ojo's, Orejas, Boko and nariz. Boca and nariz. And then finally, Cabeza, Ombros, Piernas, Piernas, Pes, piernas, piers, pious.

Very bien. Now, obviously, we're out in Spain, as you know, and we don't really have access to all the usual keyboards and so on, so I think our musical accompaniment may be a little more basic, but do sing along. And we'll post the words on the website so that you've got the full karaoke lyrics to join us in this song. Cabeza, ombros, pernas, piernas, piernas, piers, pies. and that's

Hormos, Piernas, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers, Piers. Ojos, Orrejas, Poca and Nareepie Cabeza, Ombroes, Pierna's Piers.
