Our priority is the learner. Always.

Our mission is to provide comparisons and recommendations for foreign language learners, so they do not waste any unncessary time on poor learning products and overpriced solutions.

So, how do we make money? Our partners compensate us, at no additional cost to the learner. This can influence the positioning of certain elements on Actual Fluency, but it never influences our recommendations, and reviews which are based on years of experience in the field. We do not accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, or paid link placements. Here is a list of our partners.

Robin goes into incredible detail here and I think the contents of this episode easily ranks in the top for practical language advice.

If you haven't listened to Robin last week yet, I strongly encourage you go listen to that episode first – it contains a lot of information about Robin's story, living in foreign countries and some of the problems one might run into when travelling and trying to “fit in.”
