# Actual Fluency

> Independent language-learning media brand founded in 2014 by polyglot Kris Broholm. Publishes honest reviews of language-learning products, a long-running interview podcast with the world's top polyglots and language educators, annual online summits (New Year New Language + Language Career Summit), and in-depth guides.

Actual Fluency is editorially independent. Reviews are written by someone who actually uses the products. Some reviews are paid placements. They are labelled as sponsored and use the same rating scale: a company can pay for Kris's time, never for the score. No manufactured 5-star ratings, no fake scarcity. Affiliate links are disclosed and never influence the rating. How scores work: https://actualfluency.com/how-i-rate
