Ha ha, someone with too much time on their hands has provided the world with the most in depth article on a children's show including character bios - sad.
Having too much time myself, I checked the article out =]
While I'm on the subject of languages and children I'm reminded of an article published in my local paper a few years ago about a small group of South Africans pushing for recognition of and state funding for Afrikaans language nests in east coast public schools...purely by virtue of the fact that there is a large South African population in that area (NB only a small faction were pushing for this, the majority understood that this initiative had to be funded by their own community).
I can understand their desire for their children to speak their native tongue but they way they went about attempting to secure that was extremely arrogant.
