In many countries, children start learning one or even various foreign languages at the same time as they are learning their native one. Why? Because it will never be as easy again.

Scientific research has confirmed that the best time for learning a language –any language– is from birth to age twelve, when a child's brain works like a sponge, absorbing everything "naturally".

Based on the results of this research, the BBC decided to create a video course for teaching English as a second language. That's how MUZZY was born.

Today, MUZZY has become the most successful series of children's language courses in the world and its method has proved equally effective for youngsters and adults.

The original English course was soon followed by others for teaching Spanish, French, German and Italian. Now, thanks to digital technology, all of these versions are included on the same DVD's, allowing those students who so wish to learn various languages.
