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 36 – Alex Rawlings: Most multilingual student of Britain

(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

Today I'm very excited to present today's episode, as I am joined by none other than Alex Rawlings. Alex was awarded the title of most multilingual student of Britain in 2012 and today speaks over 12 languages.

ucDNwSZZ_400x400Another fun fact about Alex, in that he was one of my original envisioned guests of the show. It might have taken me 35 episode to get there, but I did finally manage to sit down with Alex to have a good long chat about everything language learning. In the episode we talk about how Alex got to so many languages, how the university encouraged a certain type of learning and most importantly natural learning methods.

Thank you Alex, for taking your time to come on and share your passion. It means a lot!
