I my case, X = Spanish.
I remember years ago talking to an immigrant from Mexico to the US who told me she learned English by watching Bugs Bunny/Loony Tunes cartoons. She said the actions are over the top, but that made it easier to understand what was going on, and often characters effectively narrate their actions ("I'm hunting wabbits!", "Take this!"), so you can fit the words to the on screen activities. Indeed, I remember watching those when I was a really little kid, and I can't say I ever had trouble understanding more or less all the words, even when I was just learning English. So the idea seems to have merit to me.
So here I am, some years later, trying to seriously learn Spanish.
...does anyone have any suggestions for what kinds of things I might try watching on YouTube/Disney/Netflix/whatever in Spanish where I could maybe use it to learn the language/improve my ability to hear the language and make sense of it?
I'm thinking stuff like old/simple storyline cartoons, Three Stooges, that sort of thing. Have any of you had any particular luck using this method to improve your understanding or linguistic ability in second/third/etc languages?
(I imagine where this is true for Spanish it will be for other languages as well, so X is a general concept here for <insert language you're trying to learn>)
Thanks!
