Coloring the German Flag & Learning Japanese
This is a free printable coloring page of the German flag, designed for kids and Japanese language learners. It features the flag’s simple tri-color design along with the country’s name written in both English and Japanese.
How to say “Germany” in Japanese
In Japanese, Germany is called “Doitsu” (ドイツ).
You might wonder, why “Doitsu” and not “Germany”?
Culture Note:
The Japanese word “Doitsu” comes from the German word “Deutschland” (or the Dutch “Duits”). Historically, Japan adopted the name that sounds closer to what Germans call their own country, rather than the English name.
The characters written on this coloring page are Katakana. Katakana is one of the three Japanese writing systems, mainly used for foreign words and country names.
