How to Learn and Practice Your Bluey Vocabulary
Watch in Spanish
One of the easiest and more obvious tips we can give you is to watch the episodes of Bluey in Spanish. If you usually watch it in English, you might feel weird changing the sound to Spanish. But it’s super important you do it, as it’ll help your kids improve in many areas of the language. They’ll acquire new Spanish vocabulary, practice their listening, learn the correct pronunciation, and therefore, upgrade their speaking.
If your children are complete Spanish beginners, you can play the cartoon along with Spanish subtitles. So you help them start. As they advance both in the show and in their Spanish classes, they lose the subtitles.
It might be hard at first, but it’ll be worth it.
Explore the Bluey website in Spanish
“Bluey” has its own website for kids and parents to explore. Of course, the original is in English, but we recommend you check it out in Spanish along with your kids. You can check who the characters are and read about them, watch some clips in Spanish of different episodes, and even play online games.
All of this will help children improve different language areas, especially listening because of the videos and reading. Plus, kids nowadays love the internet, so they’ll have fun while using their online time for good.
Ignite conversations in Spanish by asking questions
Kids love talking about what they love and they’re passionate about. This can go from a hobby to their favorite subject to a tv show.

Well, you can ask questions in Spanish to encourage them to answer in Spanish as well (we have some examples above).
