According to the BBC, Koshik the elephant has learnt to imitate human speech and can say five words in Korean: hello, no, sit down, lie down and good.
The zoo animal places the tip of his trunk into his mouth to transform his natural low rumble into a convincing impression of a human voice. Recordings are on the BBC website.
서방앤: Apart from a shocking lack of honorifics, I have to say this elephant’s Korean pronunciation is better than mine.
