Forrin one here. English as a second language. Please could you recommend any nice videos, currently they watch Ben and Holly, but is getting too babyish for them. Thank youXmas Smile

If you're in the UK would advise sticking to UK based programmes instead of US, my Italian cousin ended up pronouncing certain words the 'American' way rather than English (lever being a prime example Grin)

As for actual programs - sorry can't be more help!

I would just type CBBC into YouTube and see what comes up.

My 9 year old DS loves almost never.

I’m assuming you can’t access Bbc iplayer? How about Netflix?

You should try to stick to programmes with real people rather than cartoons for learning languages.

I had a mother of a Y6 pupil, she spoke perfect English. When chatting one day, she told me she came to England when she was 16 to get married. I asked if she had learned English at school. "No", she replied, "I learned it from the telly."

Alphablocks is good for the sounds different letters make. It would be young for them though but worth seeking out if there is a sound they can't make.

Muzzy is often on YouTube.

It was designed for children to learn English.
