When I was in Los Angeles I asked my Nicaraguan friend Manuel how he learned English. He instantly replied with the biggest smile, "cartoons." He would watch the cartoons everyday with his kids who were of that age and that's how he picked it up. So this last Saturday morning I flipped on the tele and low and behold, it's Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. "Cool," I think as I settle back down under the covers for my first learning experience of the day.
WARNING; listening to Donald Duck is absolutely the worst way ever to learn French!
I suddenly remember I can't even understand him in English and this was just so bad in so many ways. Not to mention the voice they gave Mickey made you want to chew up some coffee beans and load the shotgun.
