The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is one of the most respected creators and producers of broadcast programming in the world. By virtue of its broad reach and excellent programming, the BBC's reputation as a teacher of language is unparalleled. Its most famous language program, Follow Me, (also known as BBC English), is the most popular language course for adults ever created. MUZZY, is similarly, the most popular language learning program ever created for children. MUZZY has been used in national curriculum (for example, in Canada and France), in forward-looking public and private schools from Thailand to Turkey and in homes from the U.S. and U.K. to Mexico and Japan.
How It WorksRight 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.
Find the learning style that matches your child and see how MUZZY supports learning in this way.
Visual/SpatialRich, 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.
VerbalA 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.
KinestheticPhysical 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.
MusicalThe 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/MathematicalSome 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.
