    Lovely lesson as always, Mrs. Lucy!
    Hey, one note on American English: "sing-song" is not used for singers of songs around here. We use "sing-song" as an adjective to describe "normal" speech that is delivered like a song, with rising/falling tones. It has often been used in a derogatory sense for tonal languages such as Mandarin! So be culturally sensitive when using this term!
    Mrs. Lucy, have you ever produced a lesson on mandatory adjective ordering? It's another one of those subconscious rules that's not widely known, and difficult to describe! You can use props, such as a Venetian glass flower vase, or your red Spanish leather riding boots!

    A lot of those expressions like wischi-waschi or Mischmasch is used in German as well.
    And a do key makes I-ah, ( eh-ah) and a clock tick-tack.

    I think you'll enjoy the Brazilian onomatopoeia for the horse: pocotó (all "o"s sound similar to the ones in "door" and the sign over the last "o" stresses that syllable) - if you say it over and over, it sounds like a horse trotting.

    Riffe raffe, is something I've heard many times from my (absolutely only italian speaking) grandmother... it seems to be an expression in use in the past in countryside areas of my region. She used it with the meaning of something makes you waste your time while you have planned to do something different ... to be honest the articulation was "tra riffe e raffe" sort of " between riff and raff" translation.
    It'amazing fancy about how an expressioncould have travel across sea, montains and valleys, in different ages too.

    I like the difference in onomatopoeias too. In my language we have some similarities with English, like "tick-tack" for a clock, "tsok-tsok" for a horse, "din'-din'" for a door bell, "ee-a" for a donkea. As for steps, the closest is "top-top-top", but it is not exactly the same

    Yes, it's interesting to see different onomatopoeias in different languages. There is a really funny one in Turkish because it breaks the rule you explained in this whole video. It's the donkey sound. In Turkish, it's the other way around: "aw-ee". (Of course the spelling is not like this in Turkish.)
