Cartoons are just as great for learning English<\/a> as other shows<\/a> or movies<\/a>, because there’s so much you can learn from children\u2019s content.\u00a0Some are mostly for children, like Disney movies<\/a>. And some cartoons cater to an adult audience, so you may even come across intense themes or an inappropriate joke or two while you are using them to learn English.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s talk a bit more about some of the best cartoons for learning English and why you should add them to your language learning schedule.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. “Martha Speaks”<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/a><\/p>\n

Where you can watch it:<\/b> PBS Kids<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a> and\u00a0YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

What it is:<\/b>\u00a0“Martha Speaks” is a show about a dog that learns how to speak after eating some alphabet soup. This show is meant for teaching new words, and each episode has vocabulary words explained before and after the episode. These words are used multiple times during the episode so you won’t ever forget them.<\/p>\n

The best thing about “Martha Speaks,” though, is how clever it is. This show does not \u201cdumb down\u201d its content just because it\u2019s for kids. Instead, it\u2019s really funny to watch. Even the opening credits<\/a> are silly!<\/p>\n

2. Cartoon Clips on FluentU<\/h2>\n\n

Where you can watch it:<\/b> FluentU<\/a><\/p>\n

What it is: <\/b>FluentU is a language learning program that uses short video clips from authentic content to teach English. FluentU<\/a><\/strong> takes real-world videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nIt uses a natural approach that helps you ease into the English language and culture over time. You\u2019ll learn English as it\u2019s spoken in real life.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nFluentU has a variety of engaging content from popular talk shows, nature documentaries and funny commercials, as you can see here:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\"-learn-english-with-videos\"<\/a>\r\n

\r\nFluentU makes it really easy to watch English videos. There are captions that are interactive.<\/strong> That means you can tap on any word to see an image, definition and useful examples.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\"learn-english-with-captioned-television-show-clips\"<\/a>\r\n

\r\nFor example, when you tap on the word \"searching,\" you'll see this:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\"learn-english-with-interactive-subtitled-dialogue\"<\/a>\r\n

\r\nLearn all the vocabulary in any video with quizzes.<\/strong> Swipe left or right to see more examples for the word you\u2019re learning.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\"practice-english-with-adaptive-quizzes\"<\/a>\r\n

\r\nThe best part is that FluentU keeps track of the vocabulary that you\u2019re learning and gives you extra practice with difficult words. It even reminds you when it\u2019s time to review! Every learner has a truly personalized experience,<\/strong> even if they\u2019re learning with the same video.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
