Without mastering at least the basic "animal" vocabulary, a foreigner in a conversation with an English-speaking interlocutor risks missing out on a significant part of the information. The theme of animals in English, like the weather, is a kind of lifeline that you can resort to if the conversation is at an impasse. When you visit a stranger, you can easily win him over if you start asking about pets (pets). Yes, and you can get acquainted with an interesting person in the park by talking about a dog walking with him.

The names of animals in English are enthusiastically taught by children and adults. It is easier for kids to remember the name of animals than abstract things. One of the first questions children ask in foreign language classes is, how do you say "animals" in English?

Pets in English

As a rule, students can answer the question of what pets are called in English after the very first lessons. Children begin their acquaintance with this topic by studying songs and rhymes about cats and dogs. And adults learn to talk about their pets, briefly describe them. For English-speaking people, it is common to subdivide all animals that are customary to keep in the house, into those that bring real benefits to a person (cow, sheep, ram), and indoor animals created for entertainment. The first are called domestic animals, the second - pet. At the first stage of learning a language, it will be enough to learn the names of those very animals that a person gets not for the sake of benefit, but as friends:

1. dog - dog
2. puppy ["pʌpɪ] - puppy
3. cat - cat, cat
4. kitten - kitten
5. parrot ["pærət] - parrot
6. hamster ["hæmstə] - hamster
7. chinchilla [ʧɪnˈʧɪlə] - chinchilla
8. guinea pig ["ɡɪnɪ pɪɡ] - guinea pig
9. mouse
10. rat - rat

farm animals

After you have mastered the names of our smaller brothers from the pets group, you can begin to study domestic animals, that is, domestic animals that give us meat, milk, and wool. Here, as in Russian, the same animal, depending on the genus, and often the age, is called differently. For example, a horse is horse, but a mare will already be mare, a stallion stallion [ˈstæljən], and a foal colt. However, to begin with, it is enough to remember the word horse. Below is a list of animals with translation. We classify all these animals as domestic or farm animals.

• chicken ["tʃɪkɪn] - chicken
• rooster ["ru:stə] - rooster
• cow - cow
• bull - bull
• pig - pig
• piglet ["pɪɡlɪt] - piglet
• turkey ["tɜ: kɪ] - turkey
• sheep [ʃi:p] - sheep
• ram - ram
• lamb - lamb
• horse - horse
• rabbit ["ræbɪt] - rabbit
• goat - goat
• donkey [ˈdɒŋki] - donkey

You will often encounter the names of these animals in everyday life. After all, the British and Americans, just like Russian speakers, tend to use the names of farm animals in comparative characteristics in relation to people, as well as in various sayings and idioms.

Wild animals

The word "animals" in English sounds like animals. Accordingly, native speakers call wild animals wild animals. This category of animals includes individuals whose natural habitat is forests, jungles, savannahs, water bodies, etc. Most of us encounter these animals only in zoos and circuses. But even if your plans do not include a safari, the name of some well-known wild and exotic animals in English is worth remembering, if only to make your speech more figurative. Otherwise, how can you tell your interlocutor that your boss is as powerful as a lion, and your colleague does not take up snake wisdom?

Wild and exotic animals with transcription and translation

Insects and reptiles

The chance to meet a wild or exotic animal for the average Russian, as well as for an avid traveler, is relatively small. But to face an insect, and in some areas with a reptile, each of us can at any time. And not always these meetings are pleasant. Therefore, it is no less important to know the names of dangerous insects and reptiles in English than the international SOS alarm. In case of unwanted encounters with insects and reptiles while traveling to exotic countries, you can warn of the danger.

So, the short list of names of insects and reptiles in English, which everyone should be familiar with, looks like this:

1. Fly - fly
2. Spider - spider
3. bee
4. Scorpion - scorpion
5. Wasp - wasp
6. Mosquito - mosquito, mosquito
7. beetle
8. Crocodile - crocodile
9. Turtle
10. snake
11. Rattlesnake - rattlesnake
12. Cobra - cobra
13. Dinosaur - dinosaur

Of course, you are unlikely to encounter the latter somewhere. But knowing the English name of this terrible reptile, you can always discuss Jurassic Park.

Birds

In order to finally conquer those around you with your knowledge of animals in English, in addition to the above words, you should supplement your vocabulary with at least a few names of birds. And one word bird (bird) is clearly not enough here.

We have already mentioned some domestic birds above, but now we will give a short list of wild birds:

• sparrow ["spærəʋ] - sparrow
• raven ["reɪvən] - raven
• penguin ["peŋwɪn] - penguin
• swallow ["swɔləu] - swallow
• dove - dove
• swan - swan
• eagle ["iːgl] - eagle
• owl - owl
• crane [ʹkreın] - crane
• bullfinch [ˊbulfɪntʃ] - bullfinch
• magpie ["mægpaɪ] - magpie

Animal groups in English

Now we perfectly understand how to name one animal in English. But what if there are several of these animals? In Russian, for various groups of animals there is a name. For example, wolves gather in packs, snakes form a nest, etc. Everything is similar in English.

So, if we have a group of kittens or puppies in front of us, then we use the word liter[ˈlɪtə], which can be translated as "brood" or "litter". Lions form a pride ( pride), snakes - nest ( nest). A school of fish in English sounds like school .

Fans of serials and films about werewolves may know that a pack of wolves, as well as dogs, is called pack, but a flock of birds - flock. Groups of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats form a herd - herd, but ants and rabbits, in the understanding of English-speaking people, are colonies ( colony[ˈkɒləni]). And finally, a swarm of insects (butterflies, bees, flies) in English is called swarm .

What do wild and domestic animals “speak” in English?

When teaching English, it is important to learn that animals in this language do not animate. Animals in English correspond to the pronoun it. An exception to this rule are fairy tales, where animals, as a rule, are given some human traits. Many fabulous animals have names, and the pronouns he (he) and she (she) are applied to them. The same applies to pets. People often think of pets as family members or friends, so we also use the pronouns he and she when referring to them.

The topic "animals in English" for children will be more interesting if you tell them how, in the understanding of the inhabitants of English-speaking countries, pets "talk". In Russian, a cat meows, that is, it makes the sound “meow”. In English, this verb corresponds to the word meow. Bears, tigers and lions roar growl). The clucking of a chicken in English is expressed by the verb cluck. The British hear the barking of a dog as " bow-bow" or " woof-woof", the bleating of a sheep -" baa-baa”, mouse squeak -“ squeak-squeak". And the rooster in English in the morning cries not “crow”, but “ cock-a-doodle-doo". The neighing of a horse to children in the UK is heard as " neigh-neigh", the pigs make the sound " oink-oink”, owls -“ hoot", and the birds -" chirp».

And here is a list of verbs that will help you characterize the actions of certain animals:

• squeak - squeak (rodents and rabbits);
• moo - moo (cows);
• scream - scream (monkeys);
• roar - roar, growl (bears and lions);
• chirp [ʧɜːp] - chirp (cicadas and crickets);
• purr - purr (cats);
• tweet - tweet (birds);
• hiss - hiss (snakes);
• quack - quack (ducks);
• howl - howl (wolves and dogs);
• bleat - to bleat (sheep, goats);
• bark - bark (dogs).

Topic “Animals \ Animals”- one of the first encountered when learning English. Today we will look at how pets, wild animals, groups of animals (such as a flock) are called in English, and also learn how animals “speak” in English. All words are given with transcription and translation.

Animal groups in English

In addition to the names of individual animals, there are names of groups of animals. In Russian, we say a herd of sheep, a pack of wolves, but not a herd of wolves and a pack of sheep. Here is what groups of animals are called in English with a rough translation (approximate, because the exact one depends on the context):

Group name	Transcription	Approximate translation
colony (of ants, rabbits)	[ˈkɒləni]	the colony
swarm (of bees, flies, butterflies)		Roy
flock (of birds, geese)		flock
herd (of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats)		herd
pack (of dogs, wolves)		flock, pack
school (of fish)		flock, shoal
pride (of lions)		pride, flock
nest (of snakes)		nest
litter (of puppies, kittens)	[ˈlɪtə]	brood, offspring, litter

As you can see, some words are similar to Russian, some are very different: we also say “ant colony”, but we don’t say “rabbit colony”. What amused me most of all was that a group of kittens, puppies and other cubs is called a litter - literally, scattered things, garbage, a mess.

What do animals say in English? Song for children

Another interesting topic about animals is how their “speech” is rendered in English. For example, we say that a bird chirps “chirp-chirp” and a pig grunts “oink-oink”, but an Englishman will say that a bird chirps “tweet-tweet” and a pig grunts “oink, oink”.

There are two groups of words to be distinguished here:

• Onomatopoeia like “quack-quack”, “oink-oink”.
• Verbs that call the process of “speech” itself, for example: quack, grunt.

Onomatopoeia is well demonstrated in this children's song:

And here is a list of some, let's say, verbs of speech. In parentheses are the names of animals and birds to which these actions may apply.

Now consider which animals these “verbs of speech” refer to:

• growl- bears, tigers, lions
• squeak– rodents (mice, chinchillas, etc.), rabbits
• scream- monkey
• roar- lions, bears
• cluck- Chicken
• moo– cows
• chirp- crickets, cicadas
• bleat- goats, sheep
• bark- dogs
• howl- dogs, wolves
• quack– ducks
• hiss– snakes
• tweet- birds
• meow, purr– cats

Here are some examples with some verbs:

Can you hear the dogs barking? Go, check the backyard. - Listen, dogs. bark? Go check out the back yard.

Whose cat is meowing outside for like an hour? Whose cat is this for about an hour meows on the street?

The mouse sqeaked and hid under the pillow. - Mouse squeaked and hid under the pillow.

My neighbor's dog howls like a wolf every night. - My neighbor's dog howls like a wolf every night.

Hello dear readers! In order for communication with native English speakers to be comfortable, it is necessary, first of all, to master the most commonly used vocabulary. Knowing the names of animals in English is useful not only for children, but for all those who want to master this language. In our speech, we very often mention some kind of domestic or wild animal. For example, when we say “hungry like a wolf” or “tired like a dog”, or when we talk about our pets. Name animals in English Learning the names of animals in English is not so difficult even for children. After all, all domestic, wild and rare representatives of the fauna, which are very often found in the communication of carriers, are not such a large number of words. However, I immediately want to note the moment that some animals are familiar to us, but for Americans, Australians, Canadians or the British they are rare.

Also, some animals are exotic for us, but for them it is quite familiar fauna. For example, for a resident of the United States it will not be surprising to meet a skunk on the street, for a Canadian - a wolverine, for an Australian - a kangaroo, and for a Russian it is not uncommon to meet a bear or a wolf in the taiga. Therefore, today we will consider the names of animals according to the following criteria:

• Homemade
• wild
• Endangered

So, let's get started right away.

Pets in English

Pets in Kanglish To begin with, I will say right away that for native English speakers, a pet and a beloved pet are two completely different words. Pets that benefit a person, they call the words " domestic animals ", and a pet for entertainment and games, that is, a pet is the word" pet ". For example, a cow, a sheep, a chicken are domestic animals, and a hamster, a kitten, and a dog are pets.

And now we will find out how their names are called and pronounced in English. To do this, I suggest you study a convenient table with translation and transcription:

Word in Russian	Titles in English	Transcription
dog	dog
puppy	puppy	["pʌpɪ]
cat	cat
Kitty	kitten	["kɪtən]
hamster	hamster	["haemstə]
cow	cow
calf	calf/bull	/
horse	horse
foal	Foal
goat	goat
kid	kid
sheep	sheep	[ʃiːp]
lamb	lamb
pig	pig
piglet	piglets	["pɪglɪt]

Save this table, and at any time you can check the translation or pronunciation of a particular name.

wild animals in english

Of course, wild animals in English are a much larger number, but we will not fill our heads with unnecessary information, and we will learn only the most commonly used names and words with translation. And also we will learn how to pronounce them correctly by studying the table with transcription and translation. Wild Animals in English First, let's learn how to name species of wild animals in English - wild animal . The species "herbivores" in English is called the word " herbivorous”, and “carnivorous” with the phrase “ flesh-eating"or the word" carnivorous". And what is the name of the “predator” species, everyone probably remembers from the famous film of the same name with A. Schwarzenegger - “ predatory».

And now the promised short table, but if it's not enough for you, then you can download the extended table with the translation:

Word in Russian	Titles in English	Transcription
a lion	lion	["laɪən]
lion cub	lion's whelp	["laɪənz welp]
bear	bear
bear cub	bear cub
elephant	elephant	["elɪfənt]
baby elephant	elephant calf	["elɪfənt kæf]
wolf	wolf
wolf cub	wolf cub
crocodile	crocodile	["krɔkədaɪl]
giraffe	giraffe	[ʤɪ"rɑːf]
snake	snake
a monkey	monkey	["mʌŋkɪ]
deer	deer
fawn	young deer
camel	camel	["kæm(ə)l]
camel	young camel
Fox	Fox
fox cub	kid fox
kangaroo	kangaroo	[ˌkæŋg (ə)"ruː]
kangaroo	baby kangaroo	["beɪbɪ ˌkæŋg (ə)"ruː]

As you can see, wild animals do not have a separate name for animals. Instead, the word is added to the name of an adult whelp, cub, calf, baby, kid or young.

Endangered Species in English

Unfortunately, for various reasons, most often because of humans, entire species of representatives of the wild fauna disappear from our planet. Despite the fact that rare and endangered species are listed in the Red Book and are under the protection of Green Peace, they continue to be killed and destroyed from the face of the Earth. Endangered species of animals in English Our task is to find out what these species are and how they are called in English. And if you meet a disappearing animal, then in no case harm it. Pass on the beauty of wildlife to your descendants.

And now we will find out which animals are listed in the Red Book and get acquainted with the translation of their names into English:

• Amur tiger - Amur tiger
• bison
• Rhino - rhinoceros
• Cheetah
• Muskrat
• Canadian beaver - Canadian beaver
• Narwhal - Marine unicorn

Naturally, these are not all rare animals. And it is very sad that their populations are decreasing year by year.

Imitate animal sounds (as is customary in English).

Talk about your pets, introduce them or show a photo.

Use individual and group cards for work (preferably colorful and with pictures).

Ask children to use their creativity, for example, to draw their pet beautifully and talk about it in English.

Play the game "Moms and Babies": distribute the pictures among the animals and call them in English words, for example, "hen - chiken".
