Happy Birthday Sesame Street!


Today is exactly 40 years since Sesame Street started its programmes on tv.
I remember very well when I was 7 or 8 years old and I used to watch Sesame Street, especially when my classes would start a bit later than usually (the programme was shown in the mornings). I don't know when, but I am sure that it is Sesame Street songs, poems and games, from which I learned my first English words, including counting from 1 to 20. Although the original version had its Polish translation, not all the parts were translated, and most of the time English voices were clearly audible.
From all the characters the ones I loved the most were little cute Elmo on one hand and on the other - mean and grouchy Oscar, who lived in a big trash can. I also cannot forget brothers Ernie and Bert, and Ernie's tricks. I always felt sorry for Bert :)
