Dora the Explorer is a great tool for learning a foreign language.

Being trilingual, I can vouch the effectiveness of children's cartoons. I picked up the English language entirely by watching nickelodeon as a kid. Blues clues, rugrats, etc.

Well, fortunately for us (especially myself). Dora the Explorer, the Hispanic delinquent, also speaks Mandarin Chinese. Who would have thought!

I recommend using this as an alternative to Rosetta Stone. Although I haven't extensively used Rosetta Stone so I don't have much of an opinion.

That's actually the wrong video that I posted. The correct is the DVD set in image above.
