Whether you like learning languages or just listening to far out sounds, you can get lost in
translation at this ultra playful
site. Bzzzpeek had me clicking on animals and vehicles
for minutes turned into hours. (Stumbled upon the site by way of Pesticide one
of my fav sites for all things Budapest.) Bzzzpeek is a great place to procrastinate if you should be doing
something else, but rather listen to the sounds of a snake, dog, cow, and ambulance made by human voices imitating what
they should sound like from several different countries. I believe the formal definition would be
“onomatopoeia.” The main idea of the project is to focus on the pronunciation and comparison of sounds by presenting
them side by side as each language expresses them differently. Great for the kiddies and wonderful for adults. It
doesn’t get any cooler than that.
