A couple of weeks ago, PBS premiered their new short-skit television program, Slang Man's World.

This one minute skit airs several times between the afternoon children's program on PBS kids.

With a cast of colorful animated characters - in addition to Slang Man himself - this short skit encourages kids to "use your (their) words."

Each day a new word in a different language is introduced (today's words were Yi, Er, San - the Mandarin Chinese words for the numbers One, Two, Three) by way of a short song.

Since the minute skit airs several times; whether it be Russian, Chinese, Spanish and more; it's by way of repetition that children lean new words in a variety of languages.

Short but effective, Slang Man's World is worth the minute it takes to watch it.
