How can watching Russian cartoons with English subtitles help you learn Russian?
First of all, original videos with subtitles are a great way to learn a language!
However, it’s passive learning, so unless you’re sitting with a pen, paper, dictionary and pausing for every word… it won’t be the same as an actual Russian lesson.
Nevertheless, there are some great benefits of watching original cartoons for learning Russian.
Benefits of watching Russian cartoons with English subtitles
– Entertainment. Learning is fun.
– Not only it’s fun, but you practice Russian comprehension skills.
– Furthermore, you learn the pronunciation.
– In addition, you pick up new words, phrases, etc.
– You’re exposed to native Russian speech.
– Moreover, it’s easy. Cartoons are made for kids, so they’ll be great study material for a beginner or an intermediate learner.
– And lastly, you get a dose of culture. Every Russian native knows (some phrases even by heart) and loves these cartoons. They reflect the Russian character and the way of thinking.
