Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Lingo Show is a British Edutainment Show designed to teach young children various foreign languages. It airs on the BBC's preschool channel, CBeebies. The show revolves around Lingo, a half-ladybird and half-butterfly (according to Word of God) insect and his team of foreign bugs, as they travel around the UK to perform "Big Bug Shows" for children. The humans are live-action, but the bugs are all animated.It was created by Nicole Seymour and the characters were designed by Kate Sullivan. It premiered on CBeebies on March 12, 2012.Not to be confused with Lingo, a game show on GSN with no relation to this show whatsoever. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| The Lingo Show / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus (which also doubles as Meaningful Name): The characters' names mean things in their native languages - for example, Queso's name means "cheese" referring to his love for it, and Lieb's means "sweet" referring to her personality. The Chinese character on Wei's helmet means "insect" | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| The Lingo Show / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Due to being an educational show that intends to teach children foreign languages, this show LIVES and BREATHES this trope. Queso has his Spanish, Jargonaise teaches French, Wei has Mandarin, and Lieb speaks German. And that's not all - we even have Blodwen, Jaadoo, Kikli, Dyzio, and Subah - who speak Welsh, Urdu, Punjabi, Polish, and Somali, respectively! | |

Strictly Formula | |
| The Lingo Show / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: Each normal episode runs the same exact way - Lingo gets a call from his "bug buddies," live-action children who pick a bug to perform a Big Bug Show for them. Once that bug is picked, they sing a song about themselves. Then, the Big Bug Stage flies to the location wherever the "bug buddies" are. Lingo begins to announce the show, but the bug says that they need objects to use in the show. So, Lingo tells them to find the objects they need. The chosen bug goes to some place, and views 3 object possibilities to use for their Big Bug Show. They say the names of the objects in whatever language they speak, then ask the audience to choose the one that would work best for their show. This is repeated, but the bug goes to a different location and three different objects are presented. Then, the chosen bug returns to the stage and puts on a show for the kids. "Buggy Best Three" episodes follow a format, too - Lingo asks a certain bug to choose their three best Big Bug Shows. They count to three in their language, and showcase clips of their three best shows. | |

Variations on a Theme Song | |
| The Lingo Show / int_67262b61 | comment |
Variations on a Theme Song: The words of the theme tune are different in the online C Beebies game(on the game, Lingo sings "And all around the world we go") whereas the TV show has the line "We're on our way to you, so let's go!". The album version of the song also has extra lyrics and different children singing backing vocals. | |

Trademark Favorite Food: The foreign bugs each have one. Queso loves cheese, hence his name. Lieb loves to eat sausages, a food Germany is known for. Jaadoo loves bananas. Kikli likes to eat eggs, and Jargonaise loves cake. Dyzio loves eating onions, and Subah's favorite food is spaghetti. Blodwen loves potatoes. Wei has a trademark favorite drink - orange juice. | |
