    Bruises, Cuts, Ruptures, Breaks, Tears, and Sprains

    Doc Molly is back with Rory Foster for an interactive lesson on discussing injuries in Spanish. This lesson builds on one of Rory's lessons at Common Ground International. We practice talking about bruises, cuts, ruptures, breaks, tears, and sprains — first presenting a verb, a noun, and an adjective that share the same root, then using that vocabulary in phrases.

    Pronominal vs Non–Pronominal Verbs

    In this episode, we explore verbs with the body and learn when to use the pronominal (reflexive) vs. the non-pronominal form of the verb. While working on the orthopedic injuries series, Doc Molly noticed that "I injured my knee" uses the pronominal form ("Me lesioné la rodilla"), while "I bent my knee" doesn't ("Doblé la rodilla"). We dig into why, with lots of examples to make a tricky topic clear.
