HEY WORDY! is Blue's Clues meets Dr. Seuss with a foreign language learning twist. Dabblebee Dunn, the host of HEY WORDY!, is a quirky wizard, fun-loving inventor, and wordsmith. He inhabits a world up in the clouds where we encounter crazy contraptions, magical adventures, and whimsical animated characters. HEY WORDY! is designed to keep your children's attention while teaching them useful words and phrases from around the world.
Never before has it been more important to inspire and motivate children to learn foreign languages as they are truly the first generation of world citizens. HEY WORDY! is the first foreign language learning program of its kind for children, mixing live action with colorful and dynamic 2D animation. Teaching children foreign languages through HEY WORDY! is enormously valuable for children's cognitive and even social development.
