I discovered my current new fav - Pocoyo with Spanish and English subtitles!
It's so funny, and there are many phrases that I began to recognize, muy bien, adios, hola...I think I will be watching tons of these!
But I did find myself reading aloud with the Spanish subtitle, imitating the pronunciation. There are a number of Pocoyo videos with bilingual subtitles, but I started out with the one without any subtitle, and it was impossible. With bilingual subtitles, I do find it easier to match the Spanish words and sentences with what I read in English. It's also less intimidating.
I do hope that I will soon be able to watch the children's program without subtitle!
I also did some digging about Pocoyo, it's originally in Spanish! That's so cool! Pocoyo runs his own blog as well! I visited his official site, but there appeared to be some advertising...not quite the thing I expected from children's program.
Pocoyó es un niño curioso, simpático y al que le encanta divertirse y aprender cosas nuevas todos los días. Ya sea en la búsqueda de misterios del espacio exterior con sus amigos o recogiendo las piezas de construcción, siempre está embarcado en una aventura.
(From Google Translate) Pocoyo is a curious child, friendly and who loves fun and learn new things every day.Whether in search of mysteries of outer space with friends or picking up the pieces of construction, provided it is embarking on an adventure.

Hi!
this is the first time i watch pocoyo :), i didn´t even know it was spanish. little kids really like it here, it´s the latest.
Good luck with your spanish!
Bye!
i this is also my first time watching it. I found it really very funny. This is one of the best ways to learn a language as you tend to understand better as you keep watching more and more. Whereas in language courses you will not have much fun when learning the language.
