Moo.

Moo.

Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo.

Moo.

Moo.

Hey, cow. What are you doing?

Moo.

This is a cow, and the cow lives in not a house, a barn.

Do you like cows? Are they delicious?

I'm going to eat you, cow. Don't do it! Okay, so today...

Hi, everyone out there. My name's Ronnie. If you've got children sitting around, bring them here,

they're going to learn something,

you're going to learn something. It's going to be fantastic.

I promise I won't say bad words.

Maybe just one. So, today I'm going to teach you-moo, barn-animal sounds

-fun, fun, fun-in English. And while your kids are learning this, you are going to be practicing pronunciation.

I even do it right now. So learn English animal noises, practice your pronunciation,

have fun with your kids, and eat a hamburger. I can't think of anything better for you to do right now.

The first animal, as I said, delicious, is chuck la moo a cow. A cow says moo. If I go

up to the board here, I have a cow. A cow says moo. Sometimes the sounds in English and the words that we use

for the sounds are the same. With a cow, it's moo, moo, moo,

moo, moo, moo, moo all around. If you're really, really, really good at cow noises, you can even go maaa. You try.

No. Do it again.

One more time. A cow goes...

Yeah, I like it. I like it.

Okay, next one. Quack, quack. Do you know what noise that is or what animal makes that noise?

Quack, quack, quack. It is a duck. Quack. Now, a duck does not live in a barn.

Quack. A duck lives in the water, and they're really cool because they can fly and swim.

Awesome. Also delicious. I would eat duck. Have you eaten duck? Quack. So, a duck says quack.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's really difficult in English sometimes for me to hear

if you are saying "duck" or if you are saying "dog". Everyone from around the world, I don't

care what country you're from, this is really, really hard, and this is where you get to

practice your pronunciation. So, when you want to say this guy-quack, quack-you're going to say: "duck".

It rhymes with the word "truck". Mm-hmm. If you want to say man's best friend,

it's a dog. Dog. Okay?

I have a dog, he's really cute. You want to see him? You ready? Do you have a dog?

This is my dog. Woof, woof. Sometimes dogs go woof, woof. It depends how big they are.

My dog's pretty small and he says woof, woof. In English, a dog says woof, woof. Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

And he actually... Dogs don't talk. Did you know that? Oh, sorry, they do talk,

but when they talk, the language they're learn-... It's not English, it's bark. So dogs

bark, but the sound that we make is woof, woof. And the language that they speak is bark.

Not barf, bark. So, we have a dog says woof, and we have a-I didn't eat it-a duck

says quack. Duck, dog. And this guy is a cow, and he says moo.

Woo-hoo.

Next up, again we have to be careful with our pronunciation because if you don't say the "p" on this animal,

sheep, or if you say the e's wrong, I think you're saying ship.

Ships don't really make any noises, do they?

Kids, ships? No. Ships kind of go: "Unh, I'm a ship." But this guy, a sheep...

A sheep says maaa or if it's a boy it says baaa. So

boy sheep say baaa, and girl sheep say maaa, maaa. Are you a boy sheep or a girl sheep?

If you're a boy sheep, you go baaa.

If you're a girl sheep, go maaa.

Make your best sheep noise. Go!

Oo, I liked it. Okay, so sheep. Baaa or maaa.

Next one, one of my favourites. I've ridden one. Oh, I've forgotten something.

Delicious,

delicious,

never tried,

Ronnie hates sheep.

This is the only food that people really, really, really like,

lamb, mutton also known as. Guess what? That's a sheep you're eating.

It's probably the only animal that I don't like to eat. So, please don't ever feed me

sheep or lamb. I will... I just won't eat it. I don't like it.

The next one up, one of my personal favourites is ee-aw, ee-aw. Ready? Ee-aw. Or we say hee-haw.

I like ee-aw better. It is one of the most funny animals in the world, a donkey.

Ee-aw.

Do you have a pet donkey? I don't. I have a dog, not a donkey. This is a donkey.

Donkeys say ee-aw. Mm-hmm.

Next up,

[snorts]

we have a pig.

Delicious again. Now, unfortunately,

I lost my pig.

I don't have a pig anymore. I think somebody ate my pig. They had bacon, or pork, or a nice roast.

So I don't have a pig, but I have a picture of a pig if you'd like to see.

His name's Bob. This is my pig, Bob. And pigs say oink, oink.

They also do something called

snort, so they go [snorts].

Try it.

[Snorts].

You got to breathe in through your noise.

[Snorts].

Or if you can't do the [snorts], which is super cool, you can go

oink, oink, oink, oink.

So pigs... So oink or [snorts]. Now, this noise, in English, we say snort.

Sometimes when we laugh a lot, [snorts], we snort when we laugh. That's funny.

A little embarrassing for some people. I think it's pretty funny. Do you snort when you laugh?

Have you ever had milk? Mm-hmm. You drink the milk and you laugh, and it comes out your nose? [Snorts].

Milk everywhere. Fun times.

This little guy, he's a mouse. Squeak, squeak. "Mice" in the plural, but "mouse" in the singular.

He's really, really, really, really small. "I'm a mouse and I like to eat cheese." So

this is adorable little mouse. Do you eat mice?

Ronnie's never eaten a mouse. Have you

eaten a mouse? Do you know what? If you barbequed me a mouse,

I would probably eat it, and it would say:

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, don't eat me, Ronnie. Squeak, squeak, squeak. I'm just a mouse. Give me some cheese."

I'm not going to eat him. He's too cute.

So, a cow says moo, a duck says quack, a dog says woof, a sheep says baaa or maaa,

a donkey says ee-aw, a pig says oink or [snorts] if you want, and a mouse says squeak, squeak.

Are you ready for some more? Are you ready? Yeah, okay. Let's go.

What's next? Oh, this guy, this guy. One of my favourites.

Ribbit. Can you do that? Ribbit.

It's taken me years to perfect that. This guy is called-ribbit-a frog.

He does not live in a barn. He lives in a pond or in water, and yeah, I've eaten him, too.

Damn, I just eat all the animals. That's all right. Ribbit. So, the name of this guy is a frog, and the

noise that he makes or she makes is ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. Now, I bet you you can jump

like a frog. I can jump like a frog. Ribbit, ribbit. Can you jump like a frog? Try it.

Get your Mom and Dad to do it, too. Come on, Mom and Dad, jump. Are you a frog family now?

Good.

Uh-oh, uh-oh. Hide, everyone, hide. It's a snake. Do you like snakes? Snakes are quite

silly, aren't they? This is a purple snake, and sometimes snakes are poisonous, so that

means they will bite you and you will die. Have you eaten snake? I haven't. Have I...?

Nope, I've never eaten snake. Maybe that's next for dinner for Ronnie is eat a snake.

Snakes make a hiss noise, so this guy goes ssss, ssss. When you are learning to speak

English, it's really, really, really important that you be able to say "ssss", and not "shh"

or "cr-lah", any other noises. So, ladies and gentlemen, when you say this sound: ssss,

your teeth, your mouth is a little bit open, and your tongue is putting the air through so it's a really nice ssss, "s" sound.

This will help you. One thing that's difficult in English is the difference between the "ssss" sound and the "shh" sound.

Now, when you want

to say this animal, the sheep, you got to make a mouth like this and go: "Shheep".

It's like you're telling someone to be quiet, so it's sheep. You don't want to say "seep",

you want to say "sheep". When you make the snake "s" it's like ssss, so you say "ssssnake".

Good.

Oh. Meow. Oh, uh-oh. What is it? Meow. Do you know what that is?

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

Oh, it's a cat. Meow. Do you have a cat in your house?

Does your cat have a name?

Meow.

I had a cat. I didn't eat it. I know you were thinking I ate it.

It ran away. So, his name was Fluffy, and when I was a child, I was five years old and the

cat just ran away. I don't know where he is, but the noise that a cat makes says meow.

So, a cat says meow. Now, maybe your cat has babies or one baby. A baby cat is

called a kitten, and a kitten, because it's not old enough to talk properly yet, says mew, mew.

Okay, let's try. A cat says meow,

and a kitten says mew.

If cats and kittens

and lions and tigers and bears are really happy, they will do something called purr.

I don't know how to purr. [Purrs]. No, can't. Can you purr? [Purrs]. Oop, that's better.

[Purrs]. Oh, I'm purring. [Purrs and pants]. So when you touch a cat's back or when you

pet the cat, it goes [purrs]. It means:

"Yeah, I like that! Woo-hoo! Pet me more, ma."

Next up, oo, another cat, big cat, it's called a lion. It's got big hair. Lions make the

noise roar. They open their... Can you roar like a lion? Do it.

Mm, louder. Do it again.

Roar. Be a crazy lion. Roar. So lions make the noise and the sound of roar. Roar. But

you just can't say... You're never going to see a lion go roar. You got to roar like a lion.

Oh, one of my favourites, the good old rooster. Now, the rooster, you might look at this and go:

"Ronnie, that's clearly a chicken,"

and delicious, but a rooster's a boy chicken.

And the cool thing about boy chickens is they have mohawks right there. So they're punk rock chickens.

And roosters do not lay eggs, because they're boys. You see? So, a boy chicken

has a mohawk and it does not lay an egg. The noise it makes is one of my favourite.

Maybe you have a rooster near your house. Maybe you're sleeping and in the morning, very early in the morning, you hear

cock-a-doodle-doo.

That was this guy. Roosters say cock-a-doodle-doo.

Your chance. Go. Ready? Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Cock-a-doodle-doo,

cock-a-doodle-doo. So,

roosters, boy chickens, cock-a-doodle-doo. Girl chickens... Girl chickens talk too, they

say bawk, bawk, bawk. Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.

I don't know how to spell that, though. You can practice. Girl chickens say bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk,

and boy chickens say cock-a-doodle-doo.

Cock-a-doodle-doo. It depends on how manly they are.

One of my favourite animals, never eaten it,
