How is the level of Spanish they teach? The Spanish dubbed versions of Dora the Explorer teach English, and I once had to sit through half an episode and I try not to laugh.

Not much if anything I mean the shows target audience is 3. After that most kids get frustrated by how slow it moves and how simple the questions are.

This is an 80s/90s animated all-ages show that was popular amongst kids. It's not some potent super weapon that might fall into the wrong hands that we have to protect from evil.

I tried learning Japanese before, my problem was I have a short attention span and there's no classes for it here, I had to do work for REAL classes, so I always forgot or just moved onto something else. I'm getting back on it now though, I've memorised hiragana before but it was with stupid stuff like "か looks like a camel, falling into a volcano! お looks like an Ox spitting!" but now I'm just writing the letters over and over while speaking them, seems like the better way...

There's more learning apps and games too, stuff like Influent gets you memorising household objects, Human Japanese helps with grammer. I've learned some stuff from Dragon Ball, animals and some kanji at least, maybe some sentence structure.

Plus who here CAN'T write 亀?
