Coloring the Poland Flag & Learning Japanese
The Polish flag, known for its clean white and red horizontal stripes, is a great starting point for young learners. In addition to coloring, why not try learning how to say and write “Poland” in Japanese?
Japanese Lesson: Word of the Day
- Poland in Japanese: ポーランド (Pōrando)
- Flag in Japanese: 国旗 (Kokki / こっき)
In Japan, these characters are written in Katakana, which is the writing system used for foreign names and countries. Grab your red crayon and practice saying “Pōrando” while you color!
Cultural Insight: Japan and Simple Flags
Did you know? Japanese people often feel a sense of familiarity with the Polish flag. This is because the Japanese flag (Hinomaru) and the Polish flag use the exact same color palette: Red and White. In Japanese culture, this combination is called “Kohaku” (紅白) and is considered a symbol of celebration and good luck!
