TEXT II
Hilarious and Entertaining

You turned on the TV looking for a good English show for learning English, and a kid’s cartoon is on. Wait, don’t change the channel! There’s so much you can learn from children’s content.
You can use children’s cartoons for learning English just as well as other shows or movies.
Sometimes they’re even better! We know what you’re thinking… “Aren’t Cartoons Just for Kids?”
“Not at all!” 
Many cartoons are fun for all ages to watch. Not all cartoons are for kids, either—“The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” might be cartoons but they both contain a lot of violence and inappropriate jokes that are definitely not for children. Even some cartoons that are for kids have several layers that can give them a completely different meaning when an adult watches them. For example, just this one short clip from “Adventure Time” has themes of marriage, love, loss and scary stalkers (people who follow you everywhere). A child might find it silly, but an adult may think it’s even disturbing!

Why Learn with Cartoons?


So you’ve decided to watch a children’s cartoon to improve your English. That’s a great idea! Here’s why:
1) Voice actors on cartoons enunciate clearly. That means they pronounce their words well so that everyone can understand them.
2) Many children’s cartoons focus on social interactions, so you can hear some real world conversations and phrases.
3) Children’s cartoons use words that are simple enough for low level English learners to understand, but also throw in plenty of challenging new words for more advanced learners.
4) If you’re watching a show for very young children, these shows are often repetitive—they repeat words, phrases and even whole sentence structures.
5) They’re usually short, about 20 minutes long. Sometimes each episode is split into two halves of 10 minutes each.
6) There are cartoons that are made specifically for learning new words and phrases!
7) Cartoons are perfect if you’re looking for a fun way to learn. And speaking of fun…
8) They’re fun to watch!
