I did the bonus section for body parts just now. I only have two questions regarding it.
When mentioning a broken part of your body, to say 'I broke my leg' would you pronounce it as the following: "Ashi no hone ore mashita" or am I missing something else? Did I spell that correctly?
Another question is when saying you have a stomach ache, or anything like that, is it spelled as "itai desu?" for a headache, would it be, "Atama ga itai desu?"
Thanks!

Konnichiwa!
I am glad you are rocketing through your Rocket Japanese course and going through the bonus sections!
:idea: You are correct except for one missing particle - To say _"I broke my leg" _
*"Ashi no hone __GA__ ore mashita"*
Though it is perfectly understandable without the particle GA, to have it grammatically correct, you need the GA.
As for "ITAI DESU" you are 100% correct! Yes, to say "My head hurts" you write/say "Atama ga itai desu."
Excellent! :lol:
