En Français

Pepé Le Pew. 

Almost all of the french that I remember I learned from him.  Years and years of french classes in school (joyously abandoned in 10th grade) and you'd think I'd remember something more than;  "bonjour, mon nom est Chandler."  "Où est la salle de bains ?" "une pomme de terre avec du beurre." "excusez-moi ?"

I can still watch the cartoons and understand everything without subtitles!  This I've been able to do since before I was forced to take french lessons!

So I say, what's the harm in letting the kiddies watch cartoons?  Now adays it is Diego and Dora teaching Spanish and Kai-Lan teaching Chinese!  Maybe if school language classes were a little more cartoon-like we'd all be multi-lingual now! LOL!
