In high school, I took Japanese for a year and LOVED it. I took Spanish for seven years and can get by, but am not fluent at all at it (ask my husband how I tried to communicate when we went to Cancun). So anyway, I might be at the same level for both haha but I remember extremely random things from Japanese... like the sounds that Japanese animals make.
It came up in conversation with my boss today who found it hilarious and I looked up some more of the Japanese animal noises.

Mouse:

Pig:

Sheep:

And my favorite, the frog:
