In today's increasingly connected world, a second language opens up a window to a wealth of opportunity for children in their school years and beyond. For over 25 years, millions of children worldwide have learned a second language using MUZZY.

MUZZY’s long history of success now comes freshly alive with all new 3-D animation and sparkling sound. Developed by the British Broadcasting Corporation, MUZZY is effective for children of all ages.

There’s no better time than now to get children started on the journey to bilingualism. Let your young patrons explore a bigger world through language learning.

MUZZY IS MODELED ON THE
WAY WE ALL LEARNED
OUR FIRST LANGUAGE

By employing a natural immersion approach, MUZZY surrounds children with visual,
aural, and contextual language. MUZZY was designed for the way children learn
and emphasizes functional language through repetition and spiraling with no
memorization or drills. There are no rules! As the animated story unfolds, 1200+
words and concepts are introduced, then reviewed again and again in new contexts,
contributing to functional bilingualism. MUZZY’s multi-sensory, multi-layered
approach works for language learning students of all learning styles,
demonstrating the power of immersion and repetition.

HOW DOES MUZZY WORK?

Children begin learning a new language by watching The Big Muzzy Story about
the extraterrestrial Muzzy and his friends. As the story unfolds, 1200+ words and
concepts are introduced repetitively and in context, using the same process we
all used to learn our mother tongue.

Games and activities in the online MUZZY Club reinforce
the learning, making learning fun. The robust volume of
words and phrases create a truly bilingual child.

WHY IS MUZZY DIFFERENT?

• MUZZY’s 3-D animated story captivates
  children and holds their attention.
• Through an immersive approach,
  children learn in the same way they
  learned to speak their native language.
• There are no rules in MUZZY! Just as
  there were no rules when a child began
  to acquire their mother tongue, MUZZY
  teaches in a natural, immersive way.
• Repetition is key to learning. MUZZY’s
  story and astonishing 3-D animation
  appeal to children so they WANT to
  watch over and over, having fun and
  learning along the way.
• MUZZY exposes children to 1200
  words, offering one of the broadest
  vocabularies available today.
• The nature of MUZZY allows children
  younger than two to begin learning.
  Online games in MUZZY Club are
  designed for both reading AND
  non-reading children.

WHY SHOULD YOU INCLUDE
MUZZY IN YOUR LIBRARY?

• MUZZY takes advantage of the “window
  of effortless learning,” allowing your
  youngest patrons to start language
  learning when they are most receptive.
• Including MUZZY in your collection
  provides a service to children who don’t
  have access to the Internet at home.
  These children should not be left out
  of the benefits of bilingualism.
• Do you have other language learning
  products in your library? No problem!
  MUZZY will support the youngest users
  (remember the games for non-readers?)
  and easily co-exist with products aimed
  at older learners.
