巧虎系列的影片本身就是幼教節目,而《巧虎學漢字》更是為了學齡前的小朋友所設計學習漢字的一系列影片。每一個影片中都介紹了幾個漢字,利用生動的動畫、旁白的簡介等,讓小朋友了解漢字的淵源、本義,大部分以象形文字為主。在語速及發音的部分,比平常的兒童動畫再慢了一些,主要是配合學齡前的小朋友有足夠的時間理解。對於剛開始接觸華語的學習者,是一個很好的自我訓練的視聽教材。
The Shimajiro series is a young children's educational program, which also includes the speical "Shimajiro learns Chinese Characters" series, which is designed as a way for young learners to begin studying Chinese characters. Each episode introduces several characters using vivid animation and narration. The series is mainly aimed at allowing children to understand the original meaning of characters. Thus, the majority of the characters introduced are pictographic. In order to ensure comprehension, the narration is a bit slower than that found in most other children's animations. For those that have just begun studying Chinese, the episodes are also a great audiovisual material with which to practice.
