Animals 동물

Animals are among the first words children learn, and they are great for learners too because the pictures are easy to remember. This set has 26 common animals: pets such as the dog and cat, farm animals such as the cow and pig, and wild animals you may see at a zoo or in a Korean folk tale. Koreans love animal expressions: the tiger (호랑이) is a symbol of Korea that appears in many old stories, and the twelve zodiac animals are used for birth years, so you will hear them when people ask your 띠. Pay attention to pronunciation: 닭 is read 닥 when it stands alone, and chicken dishes are very common on menus. Learn each animal together with its sound in the next set, Animal Sounds, and the words will stick much faster.
