5 Benefits of Watching Children’s Tv in Spanish
Watching kids tv shows will give you the best results if you are a complete beginner; common vocabulary plus simple plot lines will help you learn through context and a total immersion in the language. Just like babies learn any language. Just faster, because you already know how languages work, you just need to learn new vocabulary. And these new words “rules”.
How do babies learn to speak a language? Simple, by watching and listening, there’s nothing more to it, really. Babies don’t care about grammatical rules, verb conjugations, nor are they worried that they will use the wrong article. The brain takes care of it all. So why are we still trying to learn any language as if we were robots? Let your brain do the heavy lifting, you just focus on understanding the plot, that’s all that matters really.
Babies will take their time, though. It takes them from two to five years to understand a language, and even after that they won’t fully understand until later.
But you’re no baby, your brain has already developed, hopefully, and you already understand the nuances of communication, again, hopefully, so you’re already 90% there. You only lack vocabulary and some rules.
So here are five benefits of watching Kids Tv shows in your Target Language.
5 Benefits of Watching Children’s Tv in Spanish
1. Use of most common vocabulary
After watching some episodes, and studying the way we propose here, you will be able to understand the most common words and phrases used in your target vocabulary. After that moving to more adult tv shows, and movies, will be just easier.
2. You will understand most of it just by context
You will grasp the “rules” for your new vocabulary just easier, all of it, thanks to the power of context. Let your brain do the hard work, it will make the connections necessary for you to understand as much as possible, you’ll learn vocabulary faster, because the brain memorize better when the words are put in context and you will
3. Promotes a healthy relationship with language learning
Aren’t you tired of studying grammar? Well, I am. It is just the most unnatural, most frustrating way of learning anything. Although it can be useful in some cases, it should always be the exception and not the rule.
So, here me out, give yourselves the permission to just sit down and relax, watch some tv, and understand everything, just like magic. Not everything has to be so hard, and especially not something so human like language learning.
Kids’ shows will help you with all of this.
4. Get your children interested in language learning too
Do you have children, then this may be the best Benefits of Watching Children’s Tv in Spanish.
It may be a fun way of getting them interested in language learning, too. Join the whole family and watch a kids’ tv show together, have conversations about what you are watching and try to solve any questions that come out.
This will be even a faster way of learning, because it mimics perfectly what our brains are designed to do: pattern recognition, social setting, and problem solving.
5. Great variety, but it can be kind of boring though
There are a lot of TV shows for kids’ these days, and everyday there seems to be more. The best part is that most children’s shows are always dubbed to most languages, so it won’t be difficult to find a good show in Spanish, or French, or any other one.
But it can be a little bit boring for a grown person to watch some kids’ shows, but if you’re a complete beginner, there really is no better option. But let me give you a short list of popular shows adults could enjoy too:
Happy learning!
