How It Works
Right now with no teaching required, your child has the natural ability to start speaking a foreign language. Early exposure to the language – any language – triggers this inborn talent. During the critical “window of opportunity” (ages 1-12) it happens effortlessly. After all, you didn’t teach your child to learn English (or his native tongue) – it just happens, like learning to walk.
Imagine a child absorbing and learning the sounds, words and sentences of a new language. Any toddler can quickly comprehend that “cat” and “chat” and “gato” all mean the same thing in English, French, and Spanish. That single comprehension happens naturally and blossoms into a powerful basis for learning. That’s the magic of MUZZY, the award-winning BBC Language Course for Children. Designed by the BBC to work the way children learn naturally, MUZZY creates a “total immersion” environment that surrounds children in the sounds of a new language.
One child may not appear to show interest as MUZZY plays in the background during other activities. And then suddenly you realize he’s using new words in appropriate ways! Another will clamor for “more MUZZY!” and watch it daily. Still others will have an on-again, off-again interest that continues for years. Regardless of which age your child begins or how enthusiastic or hesitant you child may be at first, speaking the foreign language is easy, fun and pressure-free, and MUZZY can be enjoyed by the whole family.
MUZZY’s multi-sensory approach stimulates your child’s natural learning style and engages the senses. Whether your child learns best by seeing, listening or doing, MUZZY speaks your child’s language.

Visual/Spatial
Rich, vibrant colors and characters draw the visual/spatial learner into Muzzy’s world. The lively, animated stories use humor, appropriate situations and compelling graphics to bring the language to life.
Verbal
A child who is a verbal learner absorbs the living language by listening, repeating and using new phrases in a play situation. MUZZY draws your child deeper into the foreign language with each adventure on DVD and audio CD.
Kinesthetic
Physical activity helps the kinesthetic learner absorb information. MUZZY encourages learning by doing. Children imitate the skits they watch on DVD and use their new vocabulary on the activity-rich CD-ROM.
Musical
The musical learner enjoys the songs on both the DVDs and audio CDs at least as much as the stories. This child responds strongly to rhythm, and MUZZY’s sing-along songs are part of the interactive fun.
Logical/Mathematical
Some children look for patterns and sequences in new material. To them, MUZZY is a stimulating game with a new set of rules! The foreign language becomes a “secret code” they’re eager to use.
