For adults who want to teach themselves a foreign language, there’s Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur and all the other self-help programs on the market. For kids, there’s Muzzy. Muzzy is a large, green, hairy but cuddly being from another planet. Muzzy is also a language-learning program, developed by the BBC, that’s supposed to mimic how children naturally pick up language. Muzzy software, CDs and DVDs sell for between $89 and $199 on commercial websites. Now, however, youngsters and their parents in the Wilmington area can use Muzzy for free online. All they need is a New Han­over County library card.
