Summary/Abstract: This article examines the role of YouTube and popular cartoons in early formal childhood language education, drawing on the dual perspective of a linguist and a mother of a preschooler. It explores the educational potential of online videos, including exposure to authentic language, alongside the risks of overstimulation, reduced physical activity and the reinforcement of undesirable language patterns. The paper offers a balanced analysis of benefits and drawbacks, concluding with practical recommendations.
