Learn Japanese with Coloring: Switzerland
This is a free printable coloring page of the national flag of Switzerland. In Japan, coloring pages are called “Nurie” (ぬりえ) and are popular among children and adults alike for relaxation and education.
How to say “Switzerland” in Japanese
In Japanese, Switzerland is called “Suisu” (スイス).
Since “Switzerland” is a foreign country name, it is written using Katakana characters, which are mainly used for loanwords and foreign names. On this coloring sheet, you can practice reading the Katakana characters for “Suisu” at the top of the page.
Japanese Cultural Note
Interestingly, the Red Cross symbol, which is widely recognized in Japan and around the world, is the reverse of the Swiss flag. This coloring activity is a great way to remember the flag while practicing your Japanese writing skills.
