When my sons where little they knew perfectly well that there was a distinct difference between a cow and a krowa, a dog i pies etc. When asked in English about the cow sound, it was moo (with the closed uuu almost with a bit of the Polish "i" in it), a krowa for a change made the MUUU sound with a wide open vowel U. Dog was ruff, pies hau. For them it made a perfect sense, for us it was incredibly funny. Just like "Mój nie worka (łerka)" - this gem about a broken pencil.
