Even the Animals Speak Korean!

In addition to the fact that animals apparently get married in Korea, they also make different noises! This has been a really funny learning experience for me since I've been teaching my kindergardners about animals. I will ask them, "What's this animal, and what does it say?" They say the cutest darn things... I have to share.

In Korea...

dogs say "mong mong"


chickens say "kohkeeyo kohkeeyo"


birds say "jeck jeck"


and tigers say "oh hoong"


I asked some of my 6th graders about other sounds today and found this out too:

In Korea...

they say, a laugh sounds like "key, key, key"...
a car horn sounds like "bahng bahng"...
a police siren sounds like "beeyong beeyong"...
a person knocking on a door sounds like "dok dok" ...
and when people clap, they say it sounds like "jak jak"

  1. This is totally true in Japan too! I remember a hilarious afternoon when we made our Japanese cast members make animals sounds all day!
    Dogs say "Wan Wan"
    Cats say "Nyet Nyet"
    so cute!
