No, it’s not a joke! You can learn English language really fast with Peppa Pig! Just in case you don’t know who Peppa Pig is, she’s a cheeky little piggy girl from a British cartoon series. She lives with her mummy pig, daddy pig and little brother George. You can watch their stories on UK channel 5 every morning. You can also find Peppa Pig series on DVDs or on You Tube.
As the Peppa Pig series are created for preschool children, English language is very clear throughout the program. Characters speak slowly and very often use difficult words, such as power cut, explained to Peppa by mummy or daddy. The stories and language used are very current and many episodes could easily happen in your household as well. Have you ever had problems fixing the shelf or to complete a piece of flat pack furniture? Well the shelf fixed by daddy Pig is great as a slide for teddies and a toy cupboard has been finally completed by Mr Zebra who simply followed the instructions!
Peppa and her family live like any ordinary family so you will find episodes with useful topics such as visits to the Supermarket or the Dentist, Camping trips and Birthdays. You will catch new vocabulary very fast as listening is supported by cartoons and interesting stories. There are also story books available on the market. As Peppa Pig and her family and friends are native speakers you will learn English language in its current version. Pronunciation is very clear and you will soon become familiar with most grammar topics as you will hear it being used and be able to use it in similar situations. Episodes are just 5 minutes long so it’s easy to follow what’s going on without getting lost. I am sure you will understand at least half of the dialogues even as a total beginner. If you then simply repeat every sentence and work with the text you will learn a lot from every episode.
Today I decided to uncover my secret method of learning English language. I can truly recommend learning with Peppa Pig stories even for total beginners. It can look unusual to learn English language from children’s cartoons but I can guarantee you that you won’t be bored and you will soon entertain your friends with snippets from Peppa Pig such as “What is the secret word? Daddy’s big tummy!” Oink!
I saw this cartoon down in Melbourne where my brother's children were watching it.
