Partes del cuerpo en inglés que no te enseñan en clase

Hoy por fin le pondremos nombre a todas esas partes del cuerpo que no te enseñan en clase de inglés.

Saldrás de esta lección de anatomía humana, habiendo dado un repaso a todas las que sí te enseñaron, y sabiendo denominar aquellas partes del cuerpo que, por mucho que busques y rebusques en el capítulo de vocabulario del cuerpo humano, no encontrarás jamas. 👀

Bear in mind! 🐻

‍
Ya sabes que en Amigos Ingleses te enseñamos el inglés académico, pero también el inglés coloquial que se habla en la vida real y que es tan necesario que conozcas.

En este post hay vocabulario muy informal e incluso vulgar. No escribas ninguno de estos términos en tu examen de inglés, tampoco los utilices en tus conversaciones, a no ser que estés hablando con amigos de mucha confianza. You’ve been warned!
