Practice your onomatopoeia~!

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posting last month but I was busy traveling. Today we will look at onomatopoeia are words that are based on sounds. For example, squeak is the sound of a rusty door hinge and boom is the sound of a bomb exploding.

This is a cute funny video that starts of listing a bunch of English onomatopoeia for animals and then asks the question "What does the fox say?" because it is true in English no one seems to know what sound a fox makes... maybe because they're so quiet?

Enjoy the video!




A cow goes moo moo.

A bird goes tweet tweet. (which is where the word twitter comes from)

A dog goes woof woof or bow wow.

A cat goes meow meow.

A pig goes oink oink.

A chicken goes cluck cluck.

A duck goes quack quack.

Have a nice day,

Phil
