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.”
