The Actual Fluency Podcast for Language Learners
The Actual Fluency Podcast features inspirational stories from world-class language learners, industry experts, and regular people who embraced multilingualism in one way or another.

We also talk about apps, methodology, and education to try and find ways to shorten the path to mastery.
