Teach children French or Spanish in your local area, backed by 40 years of experience, ready-made lesson plans, and a proven club model. No teaching background needed. Just energy, language skills, and the drive to run something of your own.
Fun Languages began in 1985 as Le Club Français, founded in Hampshire by an experienced language teacher who saw a gap for fun, high-quality French lessons for children. Forty years on, our franchisees run clubs in schools, nurseries and communities across the UK and internationally.
You teach and grow at your own pace. We provide everything behind the scenes: the curriculum, the resources, the training and the support. No teaching qualification or business experience needed.
Starting your own language teaching business is simpler than you’d expect. We guide you through every step, from your first informal chat to launching your clubs, with full training and support along the way. All you bring is enthusiasm for languages.
Tell us a little about yourself and your local area. We'll arrange an informal call to talk through the opportunity and answer your questions.
Get full training on the Fun Languages method, your lesson plans, and the practical side of running your clubs. No teaching qualification required.
Open your first clubs with our support behind you. Start small alongside other commitments or go all in. The pace is yours.
Demand for children’s language learning keeps growing, and parents want it taught well. Our model is low cost to start, simple to run, and built to scale when you’re ready.
Our club model is priced for healthy hourly earnings from day one. Larger clubs and school contracts can earn you considerably more.
Clubs run at lunchtimes and after school, so the hours fit neatly around family life or alongside other work.
You decide which days you work, which venues you take on, and how fast you grow. It's your business, run your way.
Detailed lesson plans, activities, songs, games and our interactive learning platform Babelzone. Everything is ready, nothing to create from scratch.
Whether you’re a fluent speaker or simply confident in the language, there’s a club to match. Each comes with a full curriculum and complete teaching resources.
Our franchisees come from all walks of life. Former teachers, parents returning to work, native speakers and career changers. Here’s what building a Fun Languages business has meant for them.
The things people usually want to know before applying. If your question isn’t here, just get in touch and we’ll happily talk it through.
This depends on the schools, venues and areas you choose to work in. Our club system allows you to earn £50+ per hour, and larger clubs can earn you more. Working just 6-8 hours per week at lunchtimes or after school, you could match many full-time salaries, with time to spare for family or for growing your business by hiring teachers to work for you.
No. Full training is provided, and our lesson plans guide you through every session. What matters most is confidence with the language and genuine enthusiasm for working with children. Many of our most successful franchisees had never taught before joining.
No. You’ll have access to detailed lesson plans covering every session, whether you’re running beginners clubs, nursery clubs, advanced clubs or online clubs. If you’d like to teach in schools, we have full in-school courses for French and Spanish. Every course comes with activities, resources and membership packs, plus our interactive learning platform Babelzone. Everything you need is provided.
The total investment is £1,980, which covers your franchise licence, training, and everything you need to launch your first clubs. Compared to most franchises this is a genuinely low-cost entry into running your own business, with no premises, stock or staff needed to begin.
We’re a community of French and Spanish specialists who love spreading a passion for languages through our clubs and classes. It’s a low-cost opportunity for anyone looking to build a business around language teaching. Many of our partners operate happily part-time, but with our scalable model there’s always room to grow your earnings as you expand.
Some of our best franchisees started out teaching for someone else. If you’d love to teach French, Spanish or English to children but aren’t looking to run a business right now, our franchisees are often looking for teachers to join their clubs.
