4 Great Cartoons for Learning English
Many people like to watch TV series to improve their English. After all, TV writing has much modern, clear language that is easy to memorize. Another great way to learn the language is by watching cartoons. Some grown-ups think that they are way too adult for such silliness, but the truth is that cartoons are usually much more upbeat and colorful. Here is a list of great, fun shows that you should watch if you are an English learner!
How to improve English through cartoons: 4 best examples
- “Martha Speaks”
Learning new words is practically the purpose of this show. It’s about a talking dog that gained its ability by eating soup with letters. New words are highlighted when an episode starts and before it ends, so they are easy to add to your active vocabulary. Personally, I like this cartoon series because it treats its viewers of all ages seriously but manages to be deliciously silly.
- “Word Girl”
Another fun show suitable for learning new words is “Word Girl”. It focuses on a young female superhorse who fights the baddies with the power of her extensive lexicon. The art style is pretty crazy, but you do get used to it. Younger kids love it, but adults may enjoy it, too.
- “Doki”
If you are wondering what to watch not only to study English, but to learn facts about other cultures, Doki is for you. The main characters are a cute white dog and his band of friends who go exploring cool parts of the world during their expeditions. They also have a great web-site with fun games and activities for viewers.
- “Adventure Time”
“Adventure Time” is enjoyed by millions of adults and children alike. Its fandom is very active on Tumblr and enjoys creating new content. The show is admittedly strange, but if you are into fantasy, magic, and fighting monsters, you’ll definitely enjoy it. Be careful, though. Some words used by the characters are entirely made up, so non-fans will probably not understand you if you use them.
Other amazing shows that English learners might enjoy are “Dexter’s Laboratory”, “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, and “Phineas and Ferb”. All of these were not created for teaching the language, but they have fantastic writing that many people can benefit from. Have fun with these shows and studying English!
