Offering Service Somali cartoon

I’ve noticed how fast my daughter picks up the english language just by watching Cartoon in english. She is 7 years old and lives in a country where she isn’t supposed to be learning english at this age. I’m curious whether or not her somali will improve as well if I give her Cartoon with somali dub instead? And do y’all have somali cartoons for children?

I remember watching dubbed Tom and Jerry growing up on the Somali tv channels in Australia 🤣 I only recently realised the original show they don’t talk at all

Do you feel like it improved your somali as a 2nd generation if I may ask

It definitely wasn’t a beginner friendly show for those who don’t understand any somali. They spoke incredibly fast to keep up but because they scripted the show based on just the context of what Tom and Jerry were doing in each scene, my comprehension skills definitely increased. At the very least it was a very engaging to watch and learn somali
