1. Okay, the first German word and tip is for lung. In German it's Lunge. A tip for this word is take away the e and you have the English word.

2. Niere is our second word. You probably would never guess the word, it's kidney. A tip to remember this word is there are two kidneys and there are two e's is Niere.

3. Liver, Leber. That's our next word, liver. An easy way to remeber Leber is to subsitute the first e for an i anda v for the b.

4. Herz is our fourth word. Guess what it is. It means heart. They are almost the same. A cool tip to remember this word is her heart. Use the Her is in Herz to remember her heart.

5. Brains, brains, brains! Thats our fifth word. Gehirn is German for brain. Once upon a time in Germany there was really angry brain and once he yelled Gehirn.

6. What's red and is in your body? BLOOD! Blut is German. Remember 'Bl' is in Blut and blood!

7. Lips rule! And that's our next word, Lippe! It is almost the same word as English too. Remember it by Lippe and Lip, subtract the 'pe' and you have the English word.

8. Zahnfleisch is our next word which means gums, like the ones above your teeth. Fleisch is kind of like flesh and think Zahn means tooth so its like tooth flesh.

9. Kopf is our last word and it means head. Remember it by this story. There was a Kopf who had no heads. So he moved to Germany where his name meant head and he lived happily ever after.

Those are our tips and we hope you have learned some new words in German.
