In German the idiom "etwas macht Spaß" is the standard way to say something is fun. Native speakers rarely say "etwas ist Spaß". Also, "Spaß" is masculine (der Spaß) but the article is omitted in this construction. When you want to talk about having fun, you can also use "Spaß haben" – e.g., "Ich habe beim Englischlernen Spaß."
