Muzzy anyone?

[Blessingsdragon]

Anyone tried Muzzy language courses?

Yes we've tried the Spanish course and my DC's hate them. DD (4) and DS (2) they don't like Muzzy and the stories and pictures are slightly outdated.
We found Dora the Explorer and Usborne books worked better for us.

My DC like the Spanish Muzzy. I made the mistake of buying full price - seen them lately on ebay greatly reduced!

Outdated from what I have seen of them, and expensive too.

We have a Usborne DVD for French and some french language books - DD enjoyed them.

So obviously a BBC Education thing. The music is dire. The sound quality is dodgy.

But DS loves him (Muzzy that is). And I can't deny being utterly delighted when DS started speaking French!

My DD hated Muzzy

It's crap.

I bought them years ago and dss didn't bother but have found them recently funnily enough and want to learn before we go to Spain in 5 weeks!

I found them odd to be honest.

They are a bit random, but they work in my experience, we have french and spainish

Not keen. I used to be a languages teacher, and I wouldn't bother with them.

Absolutely don't bother - I spent a ton on them and they were watched about twice maximum. Ds1 learned far more from Dora the Explorer and more enjoyably.

We have the Italian one which, weirdly, my children really love but (a) I'm not sure they have learnt very much from it (b) it is sooooo old-fashioned it makes me cringe.

Really outdated. Don't pay full price. I did - fool! My ds liked it and he did seem to learn something. I'd see if there are language classes for children in your area - it's difficult if like me you want German though - but French and Spanish should be easier to find.
