Domestic Animals (Animals on Farms)

Here are common farm animals you must know:

Animal Sounds

Animals make different sounds. Listen and recognize:

When you see un or une (a/an), the animal is one. When you see des (some), there are many.

When You HEAR (Oral):

• Listen carefully to the sound
• Match the word to what you know
• Example: If you hear "Miaou !" — you know it is a chat (cat)

When You SEE (Written):

• Look at the word on paper or board
• Match the word to the picture or meaning
• Example: If you see "vache" — you know it means cow

Question: Look at the picture and choose the correct name.

Picture shows an animal that gives milk

Answer: The correct name is une vache (a cow).

Question: Listen: "Cocorico !" Answer: This is un coq (a rooster).

• Learn the names of animals: un chat, une vache, un chien, une chèvre, etc.
• Know animal sounds: Miaou !, Cocorico !, Coin-coin !
• Remember: un/une = one animal, des = many animals
• Practice recognizing words when you hear them and when you see them written

In Tanzania, you can use these French animal words when visiting a zoo or a farm. For example, if you go to Mikumi National Park with your family, you can say "C'est un éléphant !" (It is an elephant!) or "C'est un lion !" when you see these animals, using the French names you have learned in class.
