Spanish Animal Noises

!Hola americanos¡
Right now I am taking a break from studying in between classes to update you on one of the funniest things I´ve learned about Spain yet.  In conversation we have this professor whom we call Don Juan which makes this story even better.  I´m sorry you couldn´t have experienced this in the flesh with me.  But today Don Juan informed us that animals in Spain make different noises than in the United States.  Por ejemplo, a cat (un gato) says ¨miau miau¨ which is essentially the same noise but needs a different spelling because the pronunciation of the Spanish language is different.  Dogs (un perro) on the other hand make extremely different noises.  In the U.S. our dogs go ¨woof woof¨ but in Spain... their dogs go ¨guau guau´¨ - to pronounce this correctly in English it would be spelt something like ¨wow wow¨ or something similar.  Spanish birds go ¨pío pío¨ while cows go ¨mu mu.¨  Finally, and probably the most hilarious, are the Spanish roosters.  In the U.S. our roosters go ¨cock-a-doodle-doo¨ but... in Spain they go ¨kikiriki.¨  Yes that´s right... they go ¨ki-ki-ri-ki¨
Well that´s all... I hope that was a little comic relief from your day!!
Un beso,
