Study English By Watching Cartoons

My daughter and I both are learning English, she is eleven years old and in grade six primary school. As she usually watches cartoons, I suggested we could watch English cartoons together. I found the English version cartoon-Miraculous:Lady Bug &Cat Noir-she usually watched. We watched one episode and found the cartoon characters speak too fast to understand. We totally couldn't hear a thing they said at all.

Would please recommend an English cartoon with slow dialogue for us?

I found the English version of the cartoon- - Miraculous: Lady Bug & Cat

Noir- that she usually watcheds.

Feedback

I think cartoons with slow dialogue would be too kiddy for your daughter. Put on English subtitles. I would encourage you to get familiar with the speed because it's essential to understanding the speech. I think Adventure Time would be a nice one. I'm not sure what the speed is like compared to Miraculous Ladybug but it's available fully subbed (in English and Chinese) on Bilibili 【【探险活宝】全9季】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1FqxFzEEG1/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=1fbc14b847fa66df8a6afd1495ccb753 (Just a heads up that they do use some made up expressions in it)

Wow, you know Bilibili, it's a very popular Chinese video website. Thanks so much.

My daughter and I are both are learning English, s. he is eleven years old and in grade six primary school.

1) While it is not incorrect, the natural ordering for "both" is usually after the verb to be (e.g. is, am, are..)
2) It is a run-on sentence, meaning that two complete sentences joined only by a comma.

As she usually watches cartoons, I suggested we could watch English cartoons together.

I found the English version of the cartoon- "Miraculous: Lady Bug & Cat Noir" which she usually watches.

Noir-she usually watched.

Please see above.

We watched one episode and found the cartoon characters speak too fast to understand.

We totally couldn't hear a thing they said at all.

A bit redundant to have both "totally" and "at all"

Would anyone please recommend an English cartoon with slow dialogue for us?

Feedback

While I cannot think of which cartoons are slow speaking off the top of my head, how about the Disney classics that you and your daughter already familiar with? That way you can form a connection between what they speak with the story you already know. I think if you find that they are speaking too fast, it is okay to have English subtitles on. I find that it is also okay to not catch everything they said and just try to get use to the tone and rhythm first, this is how i am training my ears as well for my Japanese. Eventually you will pick up more and more.
