Onomatopoeia
« on: April 11, 2011, 01:42:25 AM »
Hi folks.As my wife and I were reading books to my daughter the other day, I noticed the unbelievable amount of onomatopoeia in the Korean language.I came up with this fun worksheet to show them the differences between their sounds and ours in English and it was quite fun.If you look at the worksheet you will see the pictures and two columns.The one on the left has the sound in Hangul and the right column is blank for the students to fill in the English.I wrote the answers on the board in no particular order and the students had to guess and fill them in on the worksheet.For example, the sound of a dog in Korean is 멍멍 and if they guessed correctly they would write woof woof in the English column.Hope this a t least gives people some ideas!!

Have a great day,
Jim

I've always thought other languages' onomatopoeias were so interesting. How two cultures hear completely different animal sounds. (I don't think I will ever understand how a dog makes the 멍멍 sound...)

Thanks for this full list! I'll try to find some way to use it in my classes, but I'll definitely use it to teach myself about Korean onomatopoeia!

I included this in a lesson before  . . . I've found it's something that all levels can appreciate.

I made a brief power point for it, which can be easily expanded on.

Here's the link:
