Animals 動物 (dung6 mat6)

Back to basics! Here are some animal flashcards useful for babies/toddlers/kids of all ages. I’ve always found that most kids absolutely adore animals and that children particularly engage with real-life pictures. These are covered in the First Words and Animals books so can be used to help revise/reinforce vocab. Most of the phrases are used in formal Chinese as well. The exceptions are:

羊 joeng4 sheep – formally this is 綿羊 min4 joeng2
雀仔 zoek3 zai2 bird – formally this is 鳥 niu5
⽑⽑蟲 mou4 mou4 cung4 caterpillar – also more simply called ⽑蟲 mou4 cung4

狗 gau2
dog
