Bonjour, howdy, and hello. If you do not already know by the title, this site is about the body in French of course. This site is good because if you ever visit France, you might become sick. The doctor will not understand you at all if you don't speak French. This is a really good site to learn all that stuff.

If you ever get jam on your leg, you can remember jambe. Just put a 'be' after it.

For rein (kidney), imagine your kidneys getting wet in the rain.

Your right hand looks like the State of Maine. Maine looks like main.

If you have a lot of courage, you have a good heart (coeur for courage).

A pediatrist is a foot doctor. Pediatrist sounds like pied for foot.

Hips look like you have hunches on your sides. Hanche = hunch = hip.

Your wrist is obviously connected to your hand and your hand is connected to your fingers. You point with your fingers. This might help you remember poignet.
