What is Saber Latino?
Saber Latino is the only animated cartoon series on DVD created specifically
so that Hispanic children living outside their home countries can learn
more
about their Latin American heritage.
Through short and simple animations, Saber Latino imparts
essential knowledge
about our Latin American roots.
Our Mission
Saber Latino’s mission is to create DVD’s with animations
for Latin American families. Our main objective is that
children who watch our DVD’s learn
about our cultural roots, and that they learn
to love this heritage and be curious about it too.
Who will it benefit?
All children who watch our DVD’s will learn
something about
our Latin American roots. Many of our stories are new,
even for the parents themselves. Saber Latino allows parents and
children to enjoy a bonding experience and to share
some quality time together as a family.
Why English and Spanish?
Rather than teaching English to Spanish-speaking
children or the other way around, Saber Latino wants them to learn
these
stories in their language of choice. We know that some of our children
with Latin American roots don’t speak Spanish, but that shouldn’t
keep them from enjoying our stories.
What are Saber Latino’s future
plans?
From the beginning we wanted to create a DVD series that comprised
various
aspects of our culture. Our intention is to continue
developing this series, and we are working to bring you the following
titles
as soon as possible- Saber Latino: Food and Recipes;
Saber Latino: Traditional Rhythms and Dances;
Saber Latino: Illustrious Characters; and
Saber Latino: Our Countries.
