M15 · Body and health
Goal: learn 13 words and phrases about the body and health.
Before you start
This level assumes you know hiragana and katakana. Words you already met there are marked and do not count as new.
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
What you learn
いたい means something hurts: say the body part and then いたい. げんき is being well, full of energy.

Practice
Two rounds: first you read each word and type its romaji, then you pick what it means. No romaji on screen.
Reading in context
A short text written only with the kana and grammar you already know. Read it and answer.
At the doctor's, a patient points and says one word:
「おなか」
"onaka"
Where does it hurt?
Translation
"My stomach."
