Head, shoulders, rodillas and toes! Wait...rodillas?!?! What is that? Well, in this post you'll find out what rodilla and many other body parts are in Spanish. I've included pictures and ways to remember them in Spanish! I can't think of creative ways to memorize every one of them, but check it out and enjoy :) Please leave a like on this comment if you enjoyed it and a comment for any suggestions.
