I found Peppa Pig a great resource to start grasping a new language.

The dialogs are repetitive enough to be gentle practice for recognizing words through speech, and the characters' struggles in learning new concepts also lead to some helpful descriptions that can supplant a dictionary.

That's really interesting. I've always shied away from dubbed sources under some vague "it doesn't follow the distribution of the target language because it is translated", which feels kinda stupid, typing it out.

But Peppa big is probably watched by as many children in my target language as any native programming, so in a sense it is as native as anything else.
