Cartoons are also a great way to learn basics of a foreign language.
Simple sentence structure, pictures to help, situational context etc . . .
“Kindersprache” makes for simple translations.
AND if you’ve seen the same episode in English, you’re miles ahead already.
May not be a “classic” but I can still recite those Multiplication Rock songs rolling around in my head.
Wasn’t that supposed to be the original “Gift of Television”, a tool to educate the world?
Guess generations have missed that episode.
“Cartoons are also a great way to learn basics of a foreign language.”
I met a guy that was Russian - 20-something. His English was so good with no accent and I said something like “Yeah - but you were born here?”
“No - we came over when I was nine.”
“Wow - you must have worked really hard on your English - you don’t have an accent at all.”
He laughed. “No - just watched cartoons all day! Seriously.”
