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 164 – Scott Young: A Year Without English and Ultralearning Languages

(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

On this episode I chat to entrepreneur, blogger and author Scott Young about his experiences learning 4 languages in a single year (without speaking any English) and his new book Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition.

SCOTT YOUNG is one of those people I have been meaning to feature on the podcast for years – literally.

Ever since I saw his amazing documentary: THE YEAR WITHOUT ENGLISH I knew I had to talk to him about the experience.

For some reason the opportunity never transpired and it wasn't until he released his best-selling book: Ultralearning, that I caught up with him.

Enjoy!
