Body parts in Dutch

Lesson 16 deals with human body parts in Dutch. It is an important lesson, because you will need this vocabulary when going to the doctor. In lesson 26 we will deal with the medical institutions and how healthcare is arranged in the Netherlands. And further of course, you need the body part vocabulary to describe someone. Or, when buying clothes (the subject of next lesson), you need to know what clothes are for which body part.
