Read below to find out the top ten best kid shows in Spanish and how they can be a fun and educational experience for your kids!
Why Cartoons?
If I go back to when I was learning another language, I have to thank TV shows and music for teaching me words and expressions from native speakers. It is very likely that if you expose your child to cartoons in Spanish, they will absorb the words without feeling it as homework. Let’s face it; cartoons are part of childhood because they are entertaining, and if you can use them for teaching a language or something else, then the benefits double.
Cartoons can teach about cultures and ways of life, but they also help with cognitive and language development. Yes, your kids will learn words from their favorite shows. In addition, some Kids’ TV shows can teach them about positive values or science.
Why Cartoons in Spanish?
There are many reasons, but one that might not be discussed as often is getting them used to different accents: yes, Mexican Spanish is way different from Spain’s. So listening comprehension and new words will come from watching those cartoons in Spanish (I think I’ve passed the Listening portion of my English exam because I learned expressions from listening to songs and watching TV series).
Another reason to watch cartoons in Spanish is that is the second most spoken language in the world, so it’s becoming more and more necessary, and your child will thank you in the future.
For example, take Dora The Explorer (What a classic!): she used her bilingual skills to solve problems, demonstrated that her second language was an asset, and Dora increased the appreciation for languages.
Paw Patrol Pup Tales
- Probably you are familiar with Ryder, and the group of pups who drive around to solve any problems in Adventure Bay. A happy and colorful show to watch in Spanish (and the puppies sound so sweet!).
