I have some information on the early learning language program from the BBC called Muzzy. It's a DVD, cd based program where your child learns a new language via interactive play and story listening (for ages 1-12).
I was going to go the immersion route for K -5 but have decided to do a faith based school instead, so I am looking to do this on our own. I'm interested in getting my 4 YO started and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this program... or if there is another program that has worked well for your family.
I'm not interested in one that is 'drills' based, but one that is more interactive, fun, games- they don't realize they're working on a new skill type. ANY help is very much appreciated!! Thanks.
I don't know how I came across this older posting but I just had to comment on it! I love Muzzi! My parents bought the Italian one for me as a child and it was wonderful. Taught me a lot and the information was presented in such a way that it was fun and easy to remember. I can still remember the little rhyme they sung to the Italian vowels :)
Good luck.
My friend who teaches Spanish classes highly recommends them. She has used them for years in the VHS format, so I'm sure the DVD would be better. FYI, I've seen them selling on Ebay a little cheaper than the BBC website.
We used Muzzy for Spanish. My daughter loved it. Our set is still in excellent condition and we still have the Muzzy doll. (Unused!) If you are interested in buying it, you can contact me off line at ____@____.com.
we r getting ready to get the russian Muzzy since we have heard alot of great things about it from people who use it in our homeschooling group.
