Spanish on Sesame Street

For decades Spanish vocabulary and understanding has been a featured part of the American Sesame Street. Aside from creating an all-Spanish co-productions, including Plaza Sésamo (Mexico) and Barrio Sésamo (Spain), many of the American Sesame Street productions have been re-dubbed and distributed for the Spanish-speaking audiences.

“Why does Sesame Street use Spanish in the program?
Sesame Street tries to convey the message that knowing more than one language is useful and fun, and that all languages are good. We try to teach a few words and phrases that can help make communicating easier.”
