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 165 – Lea Tiralarc: 5000+ lessons as an online teacher and the staircase method

(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

On this episode, I chat to French teacher Lea Tiralarc, who's taught over 5000 lessons on italki about her experiences as a teacher and a learner. We also talk about her method (The Staircase) and how to make teaching languages your career.

I first got to know about Lea through Benny Lewis, and since then I've met her many times at various polyglot events around the world.

She's a highly talented French teacher, and with years of experience has developed her own method called “The Staircase Method”
