The Junior Language Challenge<\/a> is uTalk’s annual competition for primary school children across the UK. We’ve been running the JLC now for 14 years, and hope to make this year our biggest yet!<\/span><\/p>\n

Children taking part in the competition will first learn French* using our app, and top scorers will progress to round 2 – and a second language – in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The competition will launch on 10th March, but you can sign up a school or individual now at utalk.com\/jlc<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entry fee will be \u00a35 per child, all of which will go to our charity, onebillion<\/a>. (This donation is payable on registration for individuals, and schools will be invoiced at the end of round 1.)<\/span><\/p>\n
