It’s fascinating getting to know other cultures and learning languages at the same time, isn’t it? Imagine the fun you’d have taking your kids on a whirlwind trip to different countries while learning languages. If that’s not possible as it is for most of us, you can take a mini virtual trip around the world with different types of media. Of course, it could be through books or TV shows. Children will enjoy their time as they take an imaginary airplane to reach new territories and adventures.
The good thing about kids’ TV shows is that they can focus on the visual aspect while absorbing languages in the context of their age and interests. The fun characters are excellent guides to explore other cultures through Oznoz shows. Not only do you get to take your kids on a mini cultural experience for free through the streaming, but they might also practice a new language and start on the path to becoming bilingual.
Here it’s a list of shows that will take your child to foreign lands from the comfort of your home:
The Middle East is full of rich traditions and a variety of cultures that span the ages. 1001 Nights is a collection of well-known classic stories adapted into a globally loved animated series. 1001 Nights is incredibly entertaining and Oznoz has a vast number of episodes to binge watch while learning Arabic. In addition, the episodes’ well-told stories teach social and emotional skills.
The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill: Australia
Australia is so big that it’s both a country and a continent! It’s well known for its unique wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas along with a distinctly sweet accent. Your children can visit Aussies landscapes with funny Blinky Bill, who is always ready to go on adventure with his animal companions.
Tang Poetry is spectacular! It celebrates the golden age of China and its poems that are often taught to children. It’s perfect for children who are bilingual in Mandarin. Not only do they get to virtually travel to China by streaming, but they get to jump into a time machine to visit the Tang Dynasty era.
Come on! Who doesn’t love a good classic that can touch the hearts of new generations? That’s what Heidi does! Sweet, happy, friendly Heidi has a heart of gold and is also a lovely guide to visit her home in the Swiss Alps. Along with the timeless story, kids will enjoy the extraordinary animated scenery and pick up on the culture that makes Switzerland so unique.
When we say New Zealand, we think about beautiful nature, clean air, and fun adventures. Siblings Darwin & Newts’ stories represent precisely that. They teach children about the environment and celebrate their landscape as they get to visit different areas of their homeland.
Around the world with Willy Fog: Various Countries
I mean, the title says it all! Here it’s a show that will take your child worldwide, inspired by the one and only Jules Verne’s story, Around the World in 80 Days. Each episode will take you to a different place and adventure with the incredible Willy Fog and Passepartout (the best last name in the history of literature!). Available in English, French, German and Spanish
Oznoz has TV shows for children that teach science and positive skills, and they will take them around the world to learn new stories, recognize monuments and have a great time while practicing a language.
