🌿English Onomatopoeia (Nature Sounds) 💐
Learning animal sounds are so fun, right? Today, let's learn about onomatopoeia in nature.
- Boom - a deep sound of thunder. For example, the boom of the thunder scared my cat away.
- Rustle - a soft movement of (dry) leaves. For example, the leaves rustled as I walked through them.
- Trickle - movement of water on a surface. For example, the leftover ice melted and the water trickled down the kitchen counter.
- Whoosh - swift movement of air. For example, the air whooshed as the bullet train rushed by.
- Patter - repeated tapping sound (usually rain). For example, what started as a patter turned into heavy rain in 10 minutes!

There are so many English words that we need to study in every lesson but one of the easiest and most fun ways to remember new words is through onomatopoeia, which means a word from a sound. Let's take a look at some animal onomatopoeia,
- Pigs say, "oink! Oink!"
- Dogs say, "woof! Woof!"
- Cats say, "meow! Meow!"
- Lions say, "roar!"
- Cows say, "moo! Moo!"

Common English mistakes you might be making (3/3)
"I don't care" vs. "I don't mind"
"I don't care," may come off as rude to most people. This expression means no concern or no care whatsoever about the situation. So, don't accidentally hurt people's feelings and use "I don't mind." This expression on the other hand means that you are okay with either of the choices presented.
Common English mistakes you might be making (2/3)
There / Their /They’re
These words are called homophones, meaning they share the same sound, maybe that's why they are easily mistaken?
So, let's talk about it. "There," is used to refer to a place that is within the distance of the speaker. For example, it is not here, it is over there!
Next, "their," this means a group people owning something. For example, their books, their crayons, and their friends.
Finally, "they're" just like "you're" this is a short cut for saying "they are." For example, they're always happy and they're coming here.
Common English mistakes you might be making (1/3)
Your vs. You're
This is a common mistakes for both Native speakers and second language speakers.
To set the record straight, 'your' indicates possession or something belongs to you. For example, your pen, your notebook, and your parents.
On the other hand, 'you're' means is short for 'you are.' For example, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're amazing.
