Muzzy Spanish

Has anyone tried Muzzy for kids to learn Spanish? Just curious. On a side note, wondering about Rosetta Stone for adults.

Anyone order the movies for your preschooler to teach them spanish? I think it's called "Muzzy"?

What's the best program for teaching my small children Latin American Spanish? I bought the Muzzy Spanish learning set and was VERY dissapointed. My kids liked watching it, but I didn't like the story line at all!! Has anyone else watched it and thought the same thing? I don't want my 3 and 4 yo to learn how to say "I hate him!" or "I hate work!" in Spanish. I don't even want them to learn to say that in English! And what's with the whole thing with Corvax kidnaping Silvia"s baby to raise her up to mary him? Anyone else find that disturbing? The only part I did like was the vocabulary builder. That was pretty cool! My kids didn't like the games on the cd-rom at all, and they usually love playing computer games. Is there anyone out there who has used something they loved and would pass it on? I would like it to be Latin American if possible. Thanks so much!!!!

What is a good computer program for teaching children spanish? My kids are 9,8,6, & 4. What are some good computer programs for teaching children spanish. I've heard about Rosetta Stone, but is it fun? I know they'll be more interested if the program includes games. I've heard of Muzzy as well. Does anyone have any experience with these?

How do I teach Spanish to my 5 year-old? My daughter and I have been learning some basic Spanish together by listening to a CD with lessons and songs. She loves it, and has shown quite an aptitude for it. I'm looking for experiences with more advanced programs such as Muzzy or other ideas on how best to teach her Spanish. We're learning it together, if that matters.

Muzzy vidieo for kids? Has any parents in here used the Muzzy Spanish or French DVD's for your kids? Did they work? I want to start teaching my 4 year old another language but can not afford a tudor.

Has anyone used the Muzzy language course for children? My daughter (4 years) wants me to buy her the Spanish course but it is sooo expensive. Has anyone used this system and was it successful?

Can anyone recommend a good Spanish Language beginners course/curriculum for a 2nd grader? Im looking for something with software we can use on our PC, we already have muzzy, we're looking for more focus on early grammar not just vocabulary ...Thanks!

Can you recommend a good DVD for learning Spanish? I looked at the Muzzy for Kids DVD course, but it was very expensive. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good DVD for teaching spanish to preschoolers,

Can anyone recommend spanish language courses either online or on CD for my homeschooling elem. level girls? I have purchased Muzzy but I think they need an online course or Cds for the computer to help them out more. Thanks.

Recommendation on Spanish language program? I would like my 7 and 4 year old to learn Spanish as a second language - I am rusty at best, so I am looking for a program recommendation - have looked at Muzzy, but don't know if there is anything else out there........would love to hear your recommendations.

I want to learn to speak spanish? I'm still in year 11 but I wasn't able to choose spanish as an option...what could I use to learn spanish.... Rosetta stone is £400 which is way too much, and Muzzy is way too young for my ages as the ages are only up to at the most 12 year olds. I'm looking into taking a course in college, but outside of school, how can I learn myself?

The Muzzy language acquisition videos? Does anyone have experience with these? My sister is 6, is this too old for her to start watching these? She took an interest to them when we saw a commercial... The commercial mentioned that there was a deal where you could get 5 Muzzy videos: Italian, Spanish, French, English, and I think German... Are there any other languages offered? Maggie is Chinese... My mom is always thinking she should learn Chinese. I try to explain to my mom that just because Maggie was born in China, does not mean she needs to know the language, but my mom thinks she should. I don't know what good it would do her, as there's not a very high demand for Chinese speaking people in America, but I'm the sister, my mom's the mom, so she makes the rules. I looked for an official Muzzy website, but couldn't really find one. Pumpkinsmom: Brilliant. I will pick yours as best answer as soon as it lets me. :)

Which children's Spanish DVD program is better? Muzzy level 1 and 2 Spanish CD/DVD set or Kids Love Spanish: Volumes 1-7 DVD Box Set

what is the best way to learn a foreign language? I am currently learning French but I really want to learn Greek. My friend is Spanish and ever since she was a little girl her parents would make her use this thing called Rosetta Stone...and in school we used to watch the Muzzy videos...are there any other ways to learna language at home? are Rosetta Stone and Muzzy realiable?

anyone tried MUZZY for their babies? (teaching a new language)? I'd like my baby to know a second language........ I, myself, am noy bilingual... but I'd like to know if someone has used cds or tapes that helped their children... thanks for your time! ex. muzzy: http://www.early-advantage.com/MuzzyTrialOptin.aspx?adkey=17-5020DV&srch=sh&did=1&campaign=Spanish&adgroup=Spanish+For+Babies&type=GoogleAdWordsSearch&keywords=Spanish+for+babies not bilingual*

WHY CAN'T MY TOASTER SPEAK SPANISH? i have tried teaching it spanish many times bfore, but it can't even give me a simple "hola". what do i do? p.s. MUZZY DOES NOT WORK.

Who remembers the show Muzzy? We watched that in Spanish, years back. Good times!

How to Learn To Speak German Language? I am very interested in learning German. I do not have any native speakers or many classes that offer it. i think the only way i can learn is to buy a program for my pc to help but i havent because i dont know which would teach best. Rosetta stone and muzzy are not useful for me in Spanish and french that I've taken them. does anyone have a solution? No native speaker around... No Classes available Books aren't the same as hearing and ect thanks!

To you, what is the most effective Spanish learning program on cassette, CD, or book. Thank you.? Besides from Muzzy.

How can I teach my daughter a second language? I was born in Costa Rica and so were my parents. When I was 2 wks. old we moved to the U.S. My bio-mom died, but my Dad made sure I kept up my heritage and spoke two langauges: English was my 1st, but Spanish was my 2nd. He tought me from the time I was 3 till Middle School. By then I knew a lot. I want my 3 1/2 year old to do the same. She also wants to learn about her heritage and her Dad(my ex) is Colombian so she has a lot of Spanish roots in her. We watch Dora and Go Diego Go and some of those othere Spanish speaking cartoons. But I want her to learn more. I heard about Muzzy. Do you think she's too young? She already knows some Spanish and will even talk to me in one sentence"Como te llamas?" which means What Is Your Name and is the only phrase she can say. So should I go with Muzzy? Any other video or book ideas for toddlers! Thanks a ton! She knows most of the basics from Dora and Diego.

Teaching my toddler a foreign language? My son is 2.5 years old. He is very smart and ahead with colors,numbers,letters, etc. I think he will do very well learning a foreign language. I decided to go with Spanish as it is so widely used and easier than Mandarin. When I was a teenager I was a nanny and remember using the Muzzy Program with the children. We did not follow through so did not have much results. I do not speak Spanish and am wondering if this will affect him learning this. Also should I go with the Muzzy program or is there a more effective program out there? What are some tips to use with whatever program to help him learn a language? With me not knowing the language and using a program with him how fluent can he become with the language? Thanks! Any help is appreciated. In response to a rude comment... I am not saying my child is "advanced" I said he is ahead. I am a teacher and have a degree in early childhood development so I believe I am qualified to comment on my own child's development. As far as him learning a foreign language at this time, toddler and preschool is when there brain is developing and absorbing at the highest level.... I want my son to be exposed to as much stimulation as possible as he enjoys it, it keeps him busy while learning and it gives us activities to do together. As far as a foreign language it will help him in the future of school and work and bringing others cultures into all of our lives is something that I believe is beneficial. So all in all I don't need some bored morn to judge me or my comments. Have a nice day. In response to a rude comment... I am not saying my child is "advanced" I said he is ahead.

I've had the desireee to learn a foreign language since i was a little girl and saw "muzzy" :] But, I would like to know: how long does it take? i'm not gonna be like a lot of the people on here, and say.. I NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!! also, are there any internet resources i could use?

What's the best program for teaching my small children Latin American Spanish? I bought the Muzzy Spanish learning set and was VERY dissapointed. My kids liked watching it, but I didn't like the story line at all!! Has anyone else watched it and thought the same thing? I don't want my 3 and 4 yo to learn how to say "I hate him!" or "I hate work!" in Spanish. I don't even want them to learn to say that in English! And what's with the whole thing with Corvax kidnaping Silvia"s baby to raise her up to mary him? Anyone else find that disturbing? The only part I did like was the vocabulary builder. That was pretty cool! My kids didn't like the games on the cd-rom at all, and they usually love playing computer games. Is there anyone out there who has used something they loved and would pass it on? I would like it to be Latin American if possible. Thanks so much!!!!
