Dear Parent,

Introducing a foreign language to a child while they are in their youth works. I have seen amazing results in my own life. My wife Anny and I watched MUZZY work its magic in our family.

Learning a second language is only one benefit.

Research has proven that exposing children to a second language as early as possible brings out your child's natural genius in ways that you have never imagined. Language learning stimulates neurons in the growing brain and actually stretches cognitive ability in children.

Learning another language has been linked scientifically to:

Improved test scores in English and maths. Experts have found that learning a second language literally expands learning capacity, leading to better performance in many subject areas.

Higher I.Q. Studies show that children exposed to the sounds of another language tend to have a higher I.Q. later on.

A richer, bigger vocabulary – in both languages!

Greater self-esteem. Kids love being able to communicate in another language. MUZZY gets them talking, imitating, play-acting and sharing what they know. It's a real confidence builder.

Admission to top colleges. Higher test scores and greater competence in foreign languages open doors at the nation's top colleges.

The No. 1 Language Course for Children

Since its introduction, MUZZY, The BBC Language Course for Children has taught millions of children in over 96 countries worldwide to start a foreign language naturally and easily.

I recognised that teaching children a new language was most effective during the "window of opportunity" (up to adolescence). MUZZY was already the No. 1 choice for learning another language. After I saw my four children easily succeed with MUZZY, I wanted to share its amazing method of learning with more families.

My family was a part of the first generation of MUZZY children to go on to success. But, the amazing stories don't end there. Many more "MUZZY graduates" have achieved much success at prestigious secondary schools and at university.

David R. started MUZZY as a teenager, when he "became a fan of the immense power or learning through story, plus the ability to learn at your own pace." David's experience with MUZZY has inspired him in his role as English Language Teacher and Teacher Trainer for the Peace Corps in Zaqatala, Azerbaijan, part of the former Soviet Union. Read More >>

"Everything I learnt, I learnt from MUZZY," says C.J. when talking about how MUZZY taught him more than just a second language. C.J. enjoyed MUZZY from the minute he was first exposed to it. He took to German readily, and after graduating university, C.J. went on to win a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany. Read More >>

Put plainly, MUZZY works! Without any teaching from you (MUZZY plays on your TV), your child will start speaking words and phrases in another language as easily as he or she began to speak English.

For kids, learning happens naturally with MUZZY. Without work, study or memorisation children automatically pick up the new language. Parents who remember the difficulty of learning a language at university are astounded with the results.

The Secret? Start Now.

The most surprising realisation in all of the brain research on language learning is that the "window of opportunity" closes. It is not impossible to learn another language later in life, but it is much more difficult. And, the cognitive benefits are no longer possible.

After adolescence, the brain discards the connections that are not being amply utilised. It disposes of the circuitry that may have become the open path to learning French or Mandarin Chinese. The pruning process has been called "relentless" and leaves the student unable to "hear" or discern (as a younger child would) the purest sounds of a language. Languages learnt at a later date will be stored in a different part of the brain and forever carry the accent of the speaker's native tongue.

The effortless manner in which youngsters were previously able to acquire a new language is forever lost.

As the president of Early Advantage and the father of four MUZZY children, I invite you to try the MUZZY programme free for 30 days. You'll find that month is long enough to see your child move from just one language into competence and confidence in another language.

Specify the language of your choice above or call freephone 0800 128 3210 and tell us which MUZZY programme you would like to try: French, Spanish, German, Italian, English or our newest MUZZY course – Mandarin Chinese. All we ask is that you pay the postage and packing charges. We will also include a soft, fuzzy Muzzy doll free with every purchase!

Children grow up so quickly. Learning a language will never be easier than it is today.

David Ward,
