Your head and face help you communicate every day. You use your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your mouth to speak, and your nose to smell. Knowing these words makes it easier to describe people, talk about health, and have everyday conversations.
Pro Tip: Learn body parts by using them in real conversations. Point to the part as you say the word. This helps you remember vocabulary faster and speak more naturally.
