Say What? Teaching English in Japan, I was surprised the first time I did my imitation of a rooster to be met with blank stares. It didn't sound that way to them. I found the different perceptions intriguing and assembled the list below. Can you match these animals to the way their sounds are thought of in Japanese? 1. chicken/rooster 2. dog 3. pig 4. frog 5. cat 6. mouse 7. crow 8. sheep/goat 9. duck a. wanwan b. nyanya c. kokekokko d. buubuu e. gerogero f. meymey g. chuuchuu h. kaakaa i. gaagaa Kim Vaughn Shiojiri, Japan |
