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.

(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

On today's show I'm excited to be talking to Kerstin Cable. I first discovered Kerstin and her great blog; Fluent Language before I even started my own. Her professional website as well as top class writing really inspired me to create Actual Fluency.

kerstinhammes_1389798616_96Kerstin is a passionate language learner and teacher and shares in the episode a lot of tips and tricks on how to become a better teacher, how to get what you are worth and even how to build a fully fledged teaching business that allows you to be completely independent. Imagine teaching your native language, whist sitting next to a pool in a warm country and enjoying the weather. That's the life you can have if you just follow Kerstin's advice.
