Just health is a topic any Spanish student needs to master from the very beginning. If you are visiting a Spanish speaking country and you feel sick (tú te sientes enfermo), if you are injured (tú estás lastimado) you need to see a doctor or visit a hospital (ir al doctor/hospital). There are many compelling reasons why health phrases are important to know in Spanish.
Also, when people greet you and say ¿Cómo estás?, you can answer No me siento well or I don’t feel well. Now, you are involved in a health related conversation since you will say what’s wrong with you and start talking about médicos or doctors, síntomas or symptoms and possible tratamientos or treatments.
