Does your pre-schooler habla perro y gato?

Learn Spanish with El Perro y El GatoGarfield and Odie, Ren and Stimpy, Sylvester and Hector--cartoon teams of cats and dogs have been used to teach kids a wide variety of lessons for decades. (Sometimes just how to beat each other up.) But now, the creative minds at HBO family are bringing us two new characters in a series of bilingual specials I know pre-schoolers will love. 

 

In El Perro y El Gato, an energetic chihuahua and a perpetually hungry, very laid-back kitty are best friends who weave through a series of comical situations all the while teaching phrases in English and Spanish to your little ones. It's bright and silly, and does a great job in making a short language lesson fun and entertaining.  My family has been watching these for a while now and we're hooked. Plus, I personally find them to be a useful Spanish language refresher for myself.

Grab the 4 El Perro y El Gato DVDs that just came out so you can get in on the fun. I mean, on the highly educational learning experience. ¡Qué estupendo! -Stephanie M
