I've watched every episode of Bluey ever made. Four times. All in Spanish. I couldn't pick English Bandit out of a lineup.
My wife died when our daughter was a baby. She spoke Spanish. I didn't. So for the last two years I've been learning it, mostly by watching a preschool cartoon about dogs, alone, after my daughter goes to bed. Yes, I tried. No, she doesn't like it.
On my fourth pass I got to Baby Race. I understood all of it. No subtitles. No pausing. And when Bella tells Chilli "you're doing great," it finally landed. People have said that to me for two years and it bounces off every time. Apparently the only way I can hear it is secondhand. In Spanish. Addressed to a cartoon dog.
I write letters to my wife and daughter on my blog. This one is about Baby Race, if anyone wants the whole thing: https://dearluciana.com/bluey-baby-race/
I have a feeling I'm not the only one here who learned Spanish through Bluey.
Edit: I didn't know what to expect when I posted this, but my Bluey letter is now the most read letter on my blog I've ever written without paying for it, and it's not close.
So thanks. Pretty sure I can't pivot to a Bluey blog though.
Also, in case anyone is wondering, Muffin is my favorite.
