Muzzy

Created by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the acclaimed MUZZY language learning courses target the optimal years to learn a second or even a third language. The lovable MUZZY and his delightful friends guides users on the journey specifically designed for children to learn a new language.

How MUZZY Works

Children have the natural ability to start speaking a new language. Early exposure to a language — any language — triggers this inborn talent.

 

MUZZY is what learning should be...fun and easy! Developed by the BBC, MUZZY's simple and effective program works by teaching through fun and animated stories featuring Muzzy and friends. These stories use the natural immersion method, which is modelled after the way children learn their first language.

 

In MUZZY, each lesson serves as the foundation for the next. The object is to build on the words and concepts that is previously learned. This use of repetition and "spiralling" makes learning come easily and naturally.

Multi-language Learning

MUZZY immerses children in English but is also available to teach Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Korean. This multisensory approach boosts linguistic proficiency and fosters an appreciation for diverse cultures. By integrating various languages into one cohesive program, MUZZY lays the groundwork for multilingual proficiency, equipping the next generation with essential communication skills that are beneficial in future academic and professional endeavours.

Engaging Stories and Characters

The program captivates young audiences with over 2.5 hours of enchanting story video that feature dynamic, animated characters. Each character brings its own personality and charm, creating a captivating narrative that children can easily relate to and enjoy. Children remain engaged and curious, making their journey into new languages not just educational but also memorable and fun. 

Comprehensive Vocabulary

MUZZY incorporates a thorough framework for expanding vocabulary, featuring 1.5 hours of animated vocabulary videos that cover over 600 essential words. This extensive vocabulary is vital for young learners, as foundational words serve as building blocks for more complex language skills. 

Interactive Games

Each game serves to solidify the lessons learned in the videos by presenting interactive challenges that cater to various learning styles. The “Watch and Play” section revisits essential grammar points through engaging video snippets and the “Words and Games” module offers a range of exercises across 31 vocabulary topics.

Structured Learning

The thoughtful design creates a structured learning path that guides young learners through their language acquisition journey. Each of the two program levels is divided into six units that introduce comprehensive content methodically. This design ensures that learning is paced appropriately, allowing children to build their language skills step-by-step without feeling overwhelmed. 

Printable Materials

Each unit comes equipped with printable PDF exercises that provide valuable opportunities for offline practice. These materials are designed to deepen children’s understanding of key

concepts and solidify their retention of new vocabulary and grammar.
