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.

AFP 47 – Dealing with burnouts in language learning

by
(Last Updated On: April 27, 2020)

On this solo episode I talk extensively about the dreaded topic of burnouts in language learning. I discuss how to prevent them, how to identify them and also what you can do if you have been hit by one.

Burnouts

Ah, burnouts. The bane of many a language learner. It happens for many reasons, it happens to (almost) all of us and the idea of a burnout can be crippling.

I've suffered from many burnouts in my life, and my language learning is no exception. So I thought I'd share some tips and tricks I've picked up lately, through research and by interviewing many of the most succesful language learners on the podcast.

I discuss how to spot burnouts, how to anticipate them and what to do if you suffer from a burnout.

How do you deal with burnouts? Be sure to let me know in the comments below 🙂
