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.

AFP 31 – Leszek Trybała: The young polyglot revolution
Today I have a very special guest. Leszek is a 17-year old who impressed me greatly whenever I would open the Memrise leaderboards. He would routinely get 10 times as many points as me in a month, which would indicate a very high level of activity. He's also fascinating because he is part of the young polyglot revolution, where teenagers start learning languages very early and do so very successfully. Another example of this is Tim Doner, who everybody probably knows by now.
AFP 30 – Luca Lampariello: The Polyglot Dream
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.
Trip report: Joining the Esperanto-Club and buying cafés Part 3
Note: This is part 3 in my trip report of my weekend trip to Berlin to take part in an Esperanto course hosted by Judith Meyer and Chuck Smith. If you have not read the previous parts yet, I suggest you go back to part 1 here: Trip report: Joining the Esperanto-Club and buying cafés
The previous part ended with me learning a valuable lesson in language learning, and specifically in Esperanto. It was the first day of the course and I was excited to go and meet up with other new learners, but also excited about exploring the city of Berlin as I had only been here once before, and that was during the polyglot gathering, where I did not have time for sightseeing.

The last post wrapped up at the end of Thursday, with me going back from my day around Berlin. Not much happened and as I had been using a lot of resources, going to bed early-ish was probably a good idea to save some energy for the next few days.
AFP 29 – Judith Meyer: Learning Chinese and developing LearnYu.com
Judith Meyer was the guest of Episode 3 and is one of the most talented polyglots you will find on-line today. Fluent in over 10 languages, she has been a role model for me since the very beginning.
