My young one loves this show. Unfortunately, with the release of season 5 they added an unnecessary new character who's entire purpose is to infect the show with Mandarin - a language very unimportant and confusing for any babies or toddlers in the US who are busy trying to soak up English. On top of that, the Mandarin spoken in the show is skewed in contorted as if spoken by a baby, which makes all the aspects of the language run together and sound the same.
If the goal is to simply broaden the vocabulary horizons of its young viewers beyond English (which again, they're watching this show because they don't know English well yet, and the show is supposed to be explicitly for that purpose).. Doesn't Spanish make a ton more sense?
What's the point, if not for some kind of agenda?
Oops, my apologies.. I meant Rúguo bùshì wèile mou zhong yìchéng, nà you shé me yìyì ne?
