I am still going through the Azerbaijani courses on Memrise. Most recently I started a human body list. It is really extensive. If I have to go to the doctor - no time soon I hope, I am sick of doctors! - I will have a lot of medical vocabulary at the ready. Of course I already know the basic body words for eyes, ears, etc. And after breaking my wrist I am very familiar with bilək! However, there were many new words in this list for me. OK, who knows when you will ever have to use the word spleen. But imagine the surprise of people if do happen to throw that into a conversation. Ay daaa! Mənim mədəm agrır, yoxsa bəlkə mənim dalaqım? Great conversation starter, eh?
I would encourage people to go to the website to take this course. I didn't find any mems, so I tried making up a few of my own. Of course, I didn't need one for diş əti - whoa! that's pretty obvious. And nəfəs borusu (breath tube) for bronchus is obvious as well. But dalaq? I imagined venting my spleen at Dal U (my old alma mater). And oynaq (joints)? It's very close to oynamaq and my husband certainly uses his joints when he dances! See how easy this is? Once you start creating mems you just can't stop! Try some yourself with this list from Memrise.
