German Body Parts with Mr. Potato Head

Updated: May 2, 2019


This weeks story on Learn German with Herr Antrim is a reboot of a very old video on my channel. I enlisted the help of Mr. Potato Head to help me teach you German body parts vocabulary. This video is a great way to learn German vocabulary while checking your listening comprehension in German.

For those of you who thought I should have said things slower or wanted to see the images I had in the video in more detail on your own time, I have uploaded the images here so you can see them in a very nice slideshow.

Here is a complete list of the body parts vocabulary in the order it is used in the video with the plurals and English versions of each.

der Körperteil, die Körperteile - body part

der Mund, die Münder - mouth

der Zahn, die Zähne - tooth

die Lippe, die Lippen - lip

die Zunge, die Zungen - tongue

das Bein, die Beine - leg

der Fuß, die Füße - foot

die Zehe, die Zehen - toe

die Hüfte, die Hüften - hip

das Knie, die Knie - knee

das Auge, die Augen - eye

das Augenlid, Augenlider - eyelid

die Nase, die Nasen - nose

der Schnurrbart, die Schnurrbärte - mustache

das Gesicht, die Gesichter - face

das Ohr, die Ohren - ear

die Hand, die Hände - hand

der Arm, die Arme - arm

der Finger, die Finger - finger

die Schulter, die Schultern - shoulder

der Ellenbogen, die Ellenbogen - elbow

das Haar, die Haare - hair

der Bauch, die Bäuche - stomach

die Brust, die Brüste - chest

In addition to the vocabulary you can learn about the body parts, there is also a lot of vocabulary used about the things that each of the body parts do. I incorporated a lot of verbs that illustrated the things Mr. Potato Head can't do without those particular body parts. Here is a list of those verbs in the order that they show up in the video with the body parts required to use that verb.

sprechen - to speak (der Mund - die Zunge, die Zähne, die Lippen)

stehen - to stand (die Beine, die Füße, die Zehen)

laufen - to run (die Beine, die Füße, die Zehen)

Fahrrad fahren - to ride a bicycle (die Beine, die Füße, die Zehen)

pfeifen - to whistle (die Lippen)

sehen - to see (die Augen)

zwinkern - to wink (die Augenlider)

riechen - to smell (die Nase)

hören - to hear (die Ohren)

ziehen - to pull (die Hände, die Arme, die Ellenbogen, die Schultern)

If you haven't already seen this video and you want to learn all of this vocabulary from Mr. Potato Head, I have attached it below this blog post. Let me know in the comments if you have any ideas for videos that I can do that would teach you a lot of vocabulary in a short amount of time.


What's Next?

The next story I plan on uploading will come out in 3 weeks. It will be a story about some children going on a field trip to a farm. I will teach you some German vocabulary about animals and farms.
