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.

AFP 154 – Silver Ilves: Language Startups and Development

by
(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

Silver from MagicLingua comes on the show to share his multilingual experiences, as well as his new startup MagicLingua, which uses speech recognition technology to revolutionise language learning. 

What I like about MagicLingua and Silver's work is that they are focussing on speech recognition to get better feedback for language learners using AI.

In this interview with Silver we also chat a little bit about the development scene in general when it comes to language learning applications and software.
