Intention is to teach the child (2 - 3 years old) spoken English.

I do NOT want shows like Tom & Jerry since there are no dialogues.

I found that the child found Finding Nemo to be too slow for her.

Which English shows with lots of English dialogues and moving/interactive cartoons or children or animals would you recommend for a 2 - 3 year old child?

    Sesame Street? Does it have to be animated?

  • @Catija I stated animated because I think that the child will not be interested in a show where there is a person sitting on a chair and giving a lecture in English. My point was that something should be moving.

  • There are hundreds of live-action shows for kids... people don't generally lecture 2-3 year olds. Sesame Street is a combination of live-action, puppets, and animation. I grew up on it and loved it a lot.

  • @Catija Thanks. Can you list some other shows too, and write an "answer"?

    in the U.S., your best bet would be television shows aimed at children and broadcast on PBS. While they don't have a monopoly on quality kids' programming, most of their offerings do have an educational slant.

    Be careful―children don't generally learn language from television, and allowing more than a couple hours a day of television has been shown to slow language development. Children under 2 years old shouldn't be shown television at all. They need real human beings to learn languages.

  • You might take a look at The Electric Company which was a US educational series during the 1970's, if you can find the episodes. Your child may be a bit young for this, as it primarily teaches reading and grammar usage. But being directly English learning related, I would definitely keep it in mind.
