1. If a foreign child was to watch a show like Dora the Explorer in their native language but learning English, would their learning process be similar?

2. Does socioeconomic status really matter in regards to a child’s vocabulary?

3. Is there a significant increase of vocabulary retention when the parent/guardian brings the material learned in the shows to real life situations?
