This research aims to introduce English to preschool children through the CoComelon YouTube channel. Data were obtained through a qualitative approach with a purposive sampling technique, involving participants aged 4 years who like to watch CoComelon content. Audio interactions during play activities and conversations with family members were recorded and analyzed to understand children's understanding of verbs and adjectives in English. The research results show that CoComelon has a positive impact on understanding English vocabulary in preschool children. Children demonstrated good ability in expressing verbs and adjectives in English after being exposed to CoComelon content. These findings highlight the importance of using interactive digital media for language learning in preschool.
