[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you afford a spanish-speaking babysitter? They could sit with child outside and talk/color/play games. Or obviously nanny or in-country au pair.

Disney + has lots of Spanish-language options.[/quote]

Do you have any recommendations on programming? Kids don't like dubbed cartoons.

They loved Tesoros: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6385910/ I think we saw it one HBO.
Real kids speaking Spanish. I would love to find other films/shows like this.[/quote]

Do they like dubbed cartoons better than no cartoons? It’s immersion language or nothing. You can also listen to music and news in the immersion language even if you just put it on as background noise. It’s all about exposure. [/quote]

No, they don't really like cartoons in any language. They love real movies with real kids - didn't like Coco, but loved Tesoros (mentioned above, sweet story, nice understandable pace). In general, they prefer to read than watch, but I'd like them to hear some better Spanish than my spouse and my rusty attempts.

More Spanish music is a good idea. Pop songs are hard to pick out the words, but I should revisit children's artists. I forgot about 123 Andres, but remember liking him.

For books, graphic novels and comics have been the biggest hits, though those we have found are mostly or maybe all translations (e.g. Raina Telgemeier).[/quote]
