Built by an MFL teacher

The platform I wish I'd had in the classroom.

MFL Made Simple was created to take the repetitive work out of planning and resource creation — without taking the teacher out of teaching.

Why I built MFL Made Simple

When I was teaching MFL, I spent hours every week planning lessons, making PowerPoints, creating vocabulary tests, finding or adapting worksheets, setting homework and trying to keep everything organised.

And every new class, topic or specification seemed to create another folder, another document and another resource to make.

I kept thinking: why isn't all of this in one place?

That's where MFL Made Simple came from.

I wanted to build the platform I would genuinely have used every week as a teacher — somewhere I could add the language I was actually teaching and turn it into lessons, PowerPoints, games, printables, homework and exam-style practice without starting from scratch every time.

MFL Made Simple isn't designed to replace teachers' judgement.

You decide what your students need to learn. The platform helps you turn that curriculum into the resources you need to teach it.

Your curriculum comes first.

Every class is different. Every department sequences its curriculum differently. And every teacher has their own way of teaching.

That's why MFL Made Simple starts with your curriculum rather than trying to replace it.

  1. Step 1

    You choose the language

    Add the vocabulary and language your students are actually learning.

  2. Step 2

    MFL Made Simple builds around it

    Turn it into lessons, PowerPoints, games, printables, homework and practice.

  3. Step 3

    You stay in control

    Edit, adapt and teach it in the way that works for your class.

The teacher decides what students learn. MFL Made Simple helps them teach it.

Less time jumping between tabs. More time teaching.

Planning in one place. PowerPoints somewhere else. Worksheets in another folder. Homework written down somewhere. Exam practice still to make.

MFL Made Simple brings the workflow together.

AI should save you time — not replace your judgement.

MFL Made Simple uses AI where it can genuinely reduce repetitive planning and resource-creation work.

But the teacher remains in control.

You choose what you're teaching, review what is generated, edit it where needed and decide what is right for your students.

Think of it as a planning and resource assistant — not a replacement for the teacher.

Built for the reality of the new GCSE.

With a new GCSE specification, teachers don't yet have years of practice material to draw on.

MFL Made Simple can help create original practice aligned to published specifications and prescribed vocabulary, while still allowing you to build resources around your own curriculum.

MFL Made Simple resources are original resources aligned to published exam-board specifications and assessment principles where stated. They are not past-paper questions and are not endorsed by an exam board.

Built for teachers. Improved with teachers.

MFL Made Simple is designed to keep improving as teachers use it in real classrooms.

The aim isn't to decide one 'perfect' way to teach MFL. It's to give teachers a strong, editable starting point — and keep improving the platform based on what actually saves them time.

Spend less time making resources from scratch.

Start with your curriculum and let MFL Made Simple help with the rest.
