Just Another Langblr

i don't know how i thought i could do this. hey, my name is willow! he/him or xe/xem, thanks. i'm currently learning portuguese, french, spanish, ukrainian, asl, and japanese.

[langblr-brasil]

do you have any recommendations for portuguese children's shows, hopefully with english subs but not necessary? i hope that makes sense, sorry.

Hi there!!

When I was a child I watched Discovery Kids Brasil. Here’s a link to their current website! https://www.discoverykidsplay.com.br/ Unfortunately it’s not the same as it was in the early 2000s lol. I cant remember many specific shows on that channel, but I know for sure that Art Attack was one of my favs.

My little sister watches Pepa Pig in Portuguese. And I know this isn’t a show, but she listens to a lot of Galinha Pintadinha songs.

I hope that helps! Sorry I couldn’t offer more.

hi i hope you dont mind me asking, but do you know of any children's tv shows/movies (cartoons/animations) in korean and/or japanese? preferably with english subtitles. thank you !!

There’s no problem at all! ^^ I’m always happy to share resources.

To be honest I haven’t watched too many Japanese or Korean cartoons because I tend to just jump right into dramas (kind of a personal preference? idk), but I do know of a handful that are highly recommend by Japanese and Korean people! I’ve watched a few episodes of these as well and enjoyed them. They’re all popular in Japan and Korea respectively, so I’m sure you’ll be able to mention them to language partners and get positive responses back. 

As far as finding these with English subtitles: YouTube is perfect. You might not find the show in chronological order, but you’ll likely find a fair number of episodes available to watch with English subtitles. The Korean ones were easier to find multiple episodes of than the Japanese ones, so I did my best to grab those!

JAPANESE

ドラえもん - This one is so popular. You’ll see Doraemon stuff everywhere in Japan (I have Doraemon stationary lol). I’ve seen short episodes and it’s really cute and fun! It’s a cat-shaped robot that goes back to help his owner’s great-great-great-great grandfather who’s kind of lazy, gets bad grades, and isn’t good at sticking up for himself.

はなかっぱ - This one is a mix of traditional Japanese and contemporary storytelling, and since it’s only about 10 minutes per episode it’s pretty easy to absorb. A かっぱ is a creature in Japanese folklore said to lurk in rivers and was used as a cautionary tale to children, but this show takes on a bit more cute image of the creature!

クレヨンしんちゃん - So this one is sort of like the Rugrats of Japan (imo since my mom didn’t let me watch Rugrats cos of the bad behavior ha), but it’s really funny sometimes and kind of cute. It’s about a really mischievous little boy who gets into trouble or isn’t always respectful of his parents/elders, but it’s got good messages in every episode and Shin-chan actually is a really good kid. This one is also available on Japanese Netflix, but no English subtitles (sorry!).

ちびまる子ちゃん - This one is kind of old to me, but I think it’s still fairly popular. I’ve watched it a few times and it was pretty cute. The plot lines are fairly simple, but it’s as close to “slice of life” as a kid’s cartoon can get. However, the main character, Maruko, has a wild imagination that sometimes makes her average life a little more interesting.

サザエさん - This is reeeeally famous and popular and I think it’s like the longest-running animated series in the world? Anyway, this is about your average family living in Tokyo, but all of the characters are really cute and fun and the stories are touching.

** You may also have some luck searching through what Crunchyroll has to offer on their website! I’ve seen quite a few children’s anime on there and they’re usually subtitled (in various languages), so you might find some you didn’t expect.

KOREAN

출동슈퍼윙스 - So I’m not sure why but this one reminds me of a cartoon I’ve also seen in America and I’m kind of wondering if this was Korean first and then brought to the States? Anyway, it’s a cute little show about a red plane named Jett who’s on a mission to deliver gifts to children. It’s super cute and fun and not too long. (YouTube playlist)

뽀롱뽀롱 뽀로로 - Okay but who wouldn’t love an adorable penguin and his friends?! This is also a good one because you can learn a lot of 반말 (informal speech) as well as various everyday expressions. Also, it’s adorable!!! (YouTube playlist)

캐니멀 - This is another adorable one about animals because apparently I just love animal cartoons or something but really, this is so cute. It’s basically about little can-shaped animals with their own distinctive personalities. (YouTube playlist)

또봇 - This one is a bit more tech-orientated because it’s created by a Korean toy manufacturer and kind of focuses on cars and machines, but it can be really fun and will teach you a lot of interesting vocab you probably wouldn’t learn otherwise. There’s no harm in learning more vocab, anyway! It’s action-packed so it’s a lot of fun. (Young Toys’ YouTube channel)

To be honest, my strongest advice when it comes to watching kid’s shows in your target language is to be open to watching anything, just like a kid would! You’ll likely pick up favorites along the way or find old, hidden gems not many others know about. The popular ones are a good place to start because you can probably discuss them with native language partners, but it’s worth finding some of your own favorites, too. Good luck on your search and I hope you enjoy some of these shows!

io: capisco, mi sembra giusto

[rad-and-sleepy]

Yo: porqué estás destruyendo la tierra!?!?

Extraterrestre: porque hay personas quienes creen que inglés es la única lengua que se tiene que hablar.

Yo: te entiendo, es justo.

[haxyr3]

Я: Почему вы уничтожаете Землю?!?! Инопланетяне: Потому что есть люди, которые считают, что им нужно говорить только по-английски. Я: А, ну понятно, тогда ладно!
