About Dora
Dora lives with her Mamá and Papi and often visits her Abuela (grandmother).
In each episode of Dora the Explorer, Dora solves a problem based on specific words and phrases in Spanish, which children learn as they solve the problem with her. These words and phrases include a variety of basic nouns, adjectives, and commands, such as "azul" for "blue", and "cuidado", which means "watch out". You will find your children using these words in every day conversation which is just fantastic!
vamonos means "let's go" and is a common phrase in Spanish. Dora is bilingual, and she demonstrates that speaking Spanish is not only a valuable tool, but also a source of pride. Together you and your child can learn some basic Spanish!
