I can speek English good too

Ha. I feel vindicated. Today, i discovered something which justifies my whole way of speaking, AND should be of special interest to some of you from a couple summers ago... you know who you are... BEE- BAH is thus compleetely acceptable as an ambulance sound!!!

check this out:

as kids we were all told that trains go "Choo - choo" and cars go "beep beep".. but in other languages that might not be the case.

AAH - CHOO!
portuguese: ah - chim!
German: Hat-Chee!
Greek: Ap Tsou!
Japanese: Hakshon!
Italian: EkChee!

EENY-MEENY-MINY-MO
Arabic: Hadi Badi!
Italian: Ambaraba chichicoco
Japanese: Hee-foo-mee-yo
Swedish: Ol-uh dol-uh doff
Polish: Ele mele dudki!
