Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! If you’re a pet owner, you know how animals tend to become part of the family. In fact, we talk about animals all the time. And, you probably use onomatopoeia to describe the sounds they make, like “woof woof” and “meow.” The Japanese language is no different. You might even hear Japanese children referring to dogs using onomatopoeia.
In this Japanese lesson, you’ll discover the onomatopoeia used to describe animal sounds. The focus is the always popular dog (wanwan) and cat (nyannyan). But, you’ll also find a handy chart with some Japanese onomatopoeia and their corresponding animals, from frogs to pigs. As a bonus, there’s a fun practice portion that asks you to fill in the correct animal sound onomatopoeia.
