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 160 – Steve Kaufmann: YouTube, Travelling, and learning languages when retired

(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

On this episode I catch up with Steve Kaufmann to hear what he's been up to in the last 5 years since he was last on the podcast. We also chat about his popular YouTube channel, travelling for language learning, and how he's learning languages as a retiree.

Steve Kaufmann is one of the OGs of the polyglot community, and it's an absolute privilege and pleasure to have him back on the Podcast.

Funny story: Steve was one of the first 5 guests to appear on the podcast, and I'm 100% sure he gave the podcast some early credibility that helped convince other amazing language learners to come on the show.

For that I'm eternally grateful.

In this episode we catch up on what's been happening in the last 5 years since we last recorded an episode, and share notes on some of our favourite polyglot events.
