Pros
- I actually recommend children's shows as they're simple, speak slowly (ish) and often portray the day-to-day life, which could be useful. If it's not too annoying, you could watch peppa pig, bluey, cocoricó (brazilian show), show da luna...
- That said, if you want to get better at it now, as opposed to later, I'd recommend finding some comprehensible input at your level...you could watch some Peppa Pig
- I also watch cartoon shows in Portuguese like Peppa Pig, SpongeBob, The Amazing World of Gumball, etc. I pick shows I kinda know the plot of since it’s easier for me to follow what words/actions go with what.
- You could watch maybe 2-3 episodes of Peppa Pig in a totally new and unrelated language and EASILY pick up plenty of common words and even some simple grammar. It 'will be at best, slightly understandable' is totally failing to attribute...

Cons
- Peppa Pig is too boring, so are other kids shows. My mind just wanders too much.
- Parent context: Spanish, I am using peppa pig as my input and whatever is trending on Mexican YouTube that is childish. Reply: I never fell for the "watch children stuff" advice. It's boring as heck and most of the time it's spoken in a...
- I just tried watching peppa pig for about 2mins. Understood a lot, but had to stop it to look for words. So seems like a perfect suggestion from you. The downside is I have to watch peppa pig…
- I rather watch something I am interested and get 5% comprehension than watch sponge bob por peppa pig (popular recommendation) with 80%+ comprehension
- That show is really into body shaming for daddy pig.

Peppa Pig is too boring, so are other kids shows. My mind just wanders too much.
I actually recommend children's shows as they're simple, speak slowly (ish) and often portray the day-to-day life, which could be useful. If it's not too annoying, you could watch peppa pig, bluey, cocoricó (brazilian show), show da luna (also br), meu amigãozão, charlie e lola, dora a aventureira, and other things of this sort.
Parent context: Spanish, I am using peppa pig as my input and whatever is trending on Mexican YouTube that is childish. Reply: I never fell for the "watch children stuff" advice. It's boring as heck and most of the time it's spoken in a childish tone that I wouldn't want to internalize from the get go. Worse, and this is the case with peppa pig, there is often no reliable transcript (you can't rely on automatically generated transcript).

You could watch maybe 2-3 episodes of Peppa Pig in a totally new and unrelated language and EASILY pick up plenty of common words and even some simple grammar. It 'will be at best, slightly understandable' is totally failing to attribute any value to the contextual clues (in Peppa Pig, namely, the drawings and animation).

For beginners, children's shows are always great. Look for Bluey or Peppa Pig in Chinese dubs, as I've heard good things about them.
