The thirtieth! episode of the Actual Fluency Podcast and what a way to celebrate. Ever since before the very first episode, I knew I wanted to get Luca Lampariello on the show, as he was one of my main inspirations for even starting to learn languages in the first place.
I remember watching his YouTube videos years ago and thinking, man it would be awesome to talk to that guy and just find out more about this wonderful world of languages.
And what do you know – 6 years later I got the opportunity and this incredibly episode came out of it. I also got the opportunity to hang out with Luca earlier in the year in Copenhagen and he is just as great in person as he is in his videos.
