Health and illness vocabulary in English
About course
Talking about health in English is not about mastering complicated medical terminology, but about being able to clearly and calmly explain what hurts, where and how, understand the other person, and not get lost in a real situation.
This course is designed for confident B1-B2 level learners. It focuses on practical vocabulary that you will actually need during a doctor’s visit, when talking about how you feel, or when describing injuries and symptoms.
What we learn here:
- How to describe symptoms and ask for help
- How to talk about common seasonal and non-seasonal illnesses
- How to distinguish types of pain and explain their causes
- How to talk about injuries and physical damage
To make lessons more effective, we have added texts, audio and video materials to practice listening, flashcards for easy memorization, and a handy vocabulary table that you can download and print.
With us, you will not get lost when English really matters.
