Answer 1

Use various memory devices - the most effective will depend on the way that you think. Some people are "linear" thinkers, others are "visual" thinkers. There are many other types (and mixes of the two I mentioned), but what I mentioned are the most common.



It sounds like you would be more of a visual thinker, so here's an idea:



As an example, for sore throat, think about how we say "gorging on food" in English. Food goes to your throat, and if you gorge on too much junk food, you might get a sore throat. Thus, you can remember "J'ai mal à la gorge" = I have got a sore throat. Basically, you're creating a dialogue that helps you remember the words.



Good luck!

Answer 2

well, some are easier that others, as gorge gives to gorge, stuff your throat with food, as has already been suggested

ventricular, one of the cavities, ie the BELLY of the heart,

pied = pedestrian area, where you can only go on foot

bras= brassierè, a thing hanging on your arms (as opposed to corsets, that were held up by being laced around the chest)

tete: tete à tete, a one to one head (ie person, like in a head of cattle... sorry, not very romantic) meeting

main, such as manufactured goods, ie goods refined by the hand of man

jambe, well, even LESS romantic Jambe= ham, the leg of the pig...

sorry, I tried doing my best, hope it helps

cat

Answer 3

Ju is right - look, all your sentences begin with the same words and you only have to remember the names of body parts.

Now, put yourself in a French student's shoes and see all what he or she has to remember to know those expressions in English... Lucky little you!

Answer 4

Try drawing a person or a monster, label its bits and pin it on the wall; pictures are more memorable. Read out the sentences and touch your own head, arm etc until you associate them. Bonne chance

Answer 5

salut, je t'écris de France, justement.

pas difficile de se rappeler ces mots, tu dois juste apprendre les parties du corps : dos, tête, pied, bras, etc.

Mais je ne connais pas de moyen pour retenir ces mots : au travail !



si tu as d'autres questions, je pourrais peut-être t'aider par mail...bye.

Answer 6

write it many times till you memorise it.
