Okay, today we're learning some animal words. Animals are everywhere, so this is super useful. Luna: Oh, I love animals. What's first? Lucas: Let's start with 猫. That means cat. Say it with me: 猫. Luna: 猫. Lucas: Good. Next, 犬. That's dog. 犬. Luna: 犬. Lucas: And 鳥. That's bird. 鳥. Luna: 鳥. Oh, that one's a bit tricky. Lucas: You got it. Let's put them in sentences. これは猫です. This is a cat. Repeat: これは猫です. Luna: これは猫です. Lucas: Now, これは犬です. This is a dog. これは犬です. Luna: これは犬です. Lucas: And これは鳥です. This is a bird. これは鳥です. Luna: これは鳥です. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's ask a question. あれは犬ですか. Is that a dog? あれは犬ですか. Luna: あれは犬ですか. Lucas: Good. And to say you like something: 猫が好きです. I like cats. 猫が好きです. Luna: 猫が好きです. Can I say 犬が好きです too? Lucas: Absolutely. And 鳥が好きです. Let's practice a little scene. Imagine you're at a park. You see a dog and say: あれは犬です. Luna: あれは犬です. Then I see a bird and say: あれは鳥ですか. Lucas: Yes, and I can answer: はい、鳥です. Yes, it's a bird. Luna: Oh, that's nice. I like birds, so I could say: 鳥が好きです. Lucas: Exactly. Let's do a quick review. Say the animal words with me one more time. 猫. Luna: 猫. Lucas: 犬. Luna: 犬. Lucas: 鳥. Luna: 鳥.
