There’s a lot of snake oil in the world of language learning, but Kerstin is the real deal. Her commentary is always thoughtful and highlights the sustained effort that is characteristic of true language learning, and she brings on excellent guests and uses her subject matter expertise to conduct some of the strongest podcast interviews in the game. I was listening to the fluent show before as a way to learn more about learning, but ended up getting inspired to dive in with Kerstin‘s German Uncovered course about 10 months ago, and now with her course and tips I’m starting a B2 german course, planning a move to Germany, and dreaming of the day I can join one of her language retreats. And, of course, I’m wondering which endangered language, and which East Asian language - oh, and french and Spanish - I want to tackle once I’ve gotten to advanced levels in German. So even if you’re just interested in language learning, give it a shot. But if you’re in the trenches and need to be inspired, then definitely sign up for the fluent show!

I followed Kerstin from the German Uncovered course she developed with Olly Richards. Her excitement and enthusiasm grabbed my attention; it continues with this podcast. I recommend giving it a try. Paul - E1L

I have listened to this show off and on for a few years and I still love it; I ALWAYS learn something and it always inspires me to keep going with languages!

These podcasts are great quality but sadly the podcaster does not structure her podcasts well at all. It takes her nearly 10 minutes to get to the topic on some of her episodes. She spends these first 10 minutes of her episodes by advertising herself and her sponsors. During her podcasts there is also a lot of fluff and not enough good information. I will be finding a new podcaster.

Kerstin has a way of making the listener feel like they are there in person and part of a lovely afternoon tea and chat. Being a language learner can be very lonely, but being able to listen to these podcasts each week really helps ease that and makes me feel like I belong to an awesome community. Not to mention all the amazing people she has introduced me to through this podcast...and now following those people on social media has enriched my life even more! Thank you so much Kerstin (and Lindsay too!).

The host Kerstin is bubbly and positive. I listen at work and this podcast makes my work day a little lighter. Lots of really good language tips and information. This podcast is motivation to keep me on my language journey. I highly recommend!!

Filled with great info and strategies for all stages of language learning. Very inspiring, encouraging and relevant to learning any foreign language.

I love listening whenever I have a long drive somewhere! Kerstin is so engaging and passionate and knowledgeable and she always gives great advice. I look forward to seeing what she has in store next!

Great tips, keep up the good work!!

I found this podcast after researching "how to learn multiple languages at the same time" and I am so glad I found it. I have implemented so many tips and tools into my language learning after hearing about them on an episode. But even more listening to it inspires me to keep working on my languages and that's been the most important part.

I absolutely love The Fluent Show. Each topic is engaging and full of the best info that I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve fallen back in love with what was soon to be an ex-language and even picked up a new one! The Fluent Show is perfect for filling my language obsession needs during downtime like driving or cleaning, yet I still feel productive and inspired. Love, love, love and recommend to every language lover I know!

I really enjoy this show. When I decided to start learning French, I found this show as a resource. After years of failed Spanish learning, Kerstin and Lindsay actually have me believing that I can do this. I just enjoy their personalities and always learn something when I listen.

These podcasts provide constructive advice that helps me in my language learning. Kerstin is personable and makes me feel like I am a member of the language learning community. I Love the fluent show!!

I can’t not love this podcast. The hosts obviously have a passion for Languages, which makes listening to every single episode a joy. The Host, Kerstin Cable is fun, energetic, and her “Questioner” Personality Type brings some thought provoking and fascinating points to Language Learning. I can not thank the Fluent Show enough for the role the have played in motivating me with my studies, and deepening my love for languages. Thank you Fluent Show! And keep up the awesome work!

Kerstin and her part-time co host Lindsay do an amazing job of covering many different topics related to language learning. Their discussions range from philosophical (what are the ethics involved in practicing your target language while abroad) to completely practical (how can you re-start learning a language you’ve already tried and failed to learn?). There are lots of language learning podcasts out there, but this one is unique in its depth and thoughtfulness toward the listener. I highly recommend you listen!

I'm a long time reader of both Kerstin and Lindsay's blog, but new to podcasts. If you are looking for a podcast about learning languages or need a little motivation to get back on the learning wagon, pick this one! The shows are loaded with helpful tips, and lots of insight to help you figure out the how, why, and what for your language learning journey. Their infectious energy and off topic conversations add a little something extra that keeps the listener entertained and engaged. If you are a language learning nerd, I highly recommend this podcast even if you are only someone that dabbles here and there.

I love this show! I’m a German and Spanish learner in a very monolingual area. It’s nice to be reminded at the beginning of the week that I’m not the alone in language learning. Thanks guys!!

If you don’t already have a foreign language you enjoy learning, you will want to find one fast after listening to just an episode or two. There are a lot of language podcasts available, but this one soars above the rest. Kerstin Cable is practical, encouraging, enthusiastic, and funny. Delightful to hear a show great for any level as well. Fantastic job!

Thank you so much Kerstin & Lindsay for all of your time and effort put into the show. I recently discovered this podcast and promptly binge-listened to every episode over the last couple of weeks! I am an American listener living in a small town in the Midwest where learning new languages isn’t really appreciated. Listening to the two of you has helped me feel less alone in my language learning journey and fills me with motivation and ideas for improving my language skills!! You are a lovely addition to my daily routine! :-)

This podcast makes me enjoy my morning commute and has me energized and enthusiastic about language learning. Kerstin’s passion and personality opened my eyes to a whole new approach to languages from what I learned in school. This podcast has made me fall in love with language all over again. I totally encourage you to subscribe and drink the Kool-Aid.

Every time I listen to this podcast I’m so blessed by what Kerstin has come up with. She interviews the most amazing top names in language learning. Her insights help me become a better learner and not only that he Podcast has some great insights about life and how language learning fits into the bigger picture of humanity.

I've just heard of this podcast, and I'm so excited to catch up on past episodes! Kerstin has great language learning advice, and she & Lindsay have such a passion for languages. I'm like a kid in a candy shop right now. Thanks for a great podcast series, ladies!

Excellent tips and encouragement for learning languages. Thanks!

I just started listening to this podcast again and I always feel inspired to press on in my lifelong journey as a language learner. Thank you for the language learnings tips and resources!!

Kerstin and Lindsay always have interesting conversations with each other and their guests about language learning. I have found several interesting language learning tools and tips from listening to this show. I really enjoy how authentically enthusiastic the hosts are about language learning and languages. Keep the podcast coming!

It's great hearing a podcast that is hostted by two experts. I appreciate Kerstin's perspective on things. I feel that she reminds us that there are great low tech options that still work really well, like simple vocab notebooks. Her and Lindsay's emphasis on goals and having a plan. The interviews they do are also really interesting. Oh, and the tools round-up episodes they do every few months are a fantastic way to learn about what's out there. Thanks for the wonderful podcast. Please keep it up!

Upbeat and interested. Keep up the good work ladies. One suggestion, a little less plugging your own language learning programs or products.

I really like the practical tips and the personable demeanor of the show hosts. I also enjoyed the thought provoking subjects discussed between the hosts and guest speakers. I actually have a rather unique language learning challenge because the target language is now fluently spoken by only about two dozen elderly people and there isn't much in the way of learning aids. My colleagues and I are creating those needed materials from scratch. So in light of our "endangered language " project, I really found this podcast to be useful food for thought that we can apply in our reclamation work. Thanks for doing this podcast !

great strategies, fun to listen to, & inspiring when you're in a rut; what more can you ask for?

I've been listening to the creative language podcast for over a year now. I really enjoy it. It has a lot of valuable content in regards to language learning and what information is readily available to people in a variety of different podcasts, Language resources. Lindsey and Kiersten give nuts and bolts pros and con tips about how it really is to learn a language. I also enjoy the fact that two strong women are doing a live podcast every week. You don't see that here in the podcast world as much. It's mostly male dominated. We need more females out there doing with Lindsey and Kiersten do on a weekly basis. While juggling the day-to-day life tasks that most people have to deal with family job other interests. It gets me inspire each week to find out what new topic they are going to introduce on our podcast. It even makes me want to venture out Angela podcasting universe as well. Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and positive influence that you both share on a weekly basis. Sincerely, Chenelle Acker and I am. USA.

I love listening to Kerstin's input and methods when it comes to language learning. It's very motivating and thought provoking when reflecting on my own thoughts of the language learning process. Each episode vamps my motivation for learning and improving my methods.

I just started listening to this podcast a week ago from today and I really enjoy it. I listen to this on my walk to classes and my drive to and from school and work. I am a language major, and am taking the tips and tools provided to better my studies. I just received an email from the fluentlanguage.co.uk email subscription and am so sad to hear that the show is slowing down and taking a break. nevertheless these podcasts are great and offer a lot of information for langauge lerning and learning in general.

I always look forward to listening to this podcast while I'm at work or driving. It helps motivate me to continue despite all the frustrations I encounter while studying Vietnamese. I hope it keeps gong for quite a long time!

I'm a guy living in Florida. I discovered the podcast about a week ago and I've already listened to about 10 episodes... In two days... I don't know if you have done this in older episodes, but here are some ideas I have for future ones, (and in the spirit of the ideas, I'll also write in Spanish :) 1. Me gustaría mucho que hicieran un episodio en el que las dos hablaran un poco en las lenguas que ya saben. Cualquiera que sea el asunto, que lo discutiesen alternando los idiomas (por ejemplo, 5 minutos en alemán y 5 en francés). Podrían hacer un episodio entero así, o solo unos minutos en cada episodio. Solo sé inglés y español, (aprendiendo alemán), pero estoy seguro que los que escuchan este podcast también disfrutan de escuchar nuevas lenguas y nuevos acentos como lo disfruto yo. Es algo que inspira y anima a encontrar nuevos retos. 2. Can you talk about funny and/or embarrassing experiences you've had when learning a new language? 3. What are the things (grammatical structures, specific words, accents, intonations etc) that have surprised you, or that you've liked the most in other languages? Keep up the good work!

Listening to Kerstin and Lindsay's podcast is like taking a shot of language learning geek-ery of which I am finding myself needing a daily dose of. There passion, knowledge, and joy for the subject is infectious, and they have been super helpful as I travel my own language learning journey. Keep up the great work ladies!

I really enjoy this podcast for the tips and tricks it provides to language learners like myself. Kerstin and Lindsay have some amazing insights, and I enjoy listening to their conversations. Each podcast has a directed topic, and they have some amazing guests like Benny Lewis and the Language Surfer, who share their experience learning languages.

I love this podcast. You can definitely feel the passion and excitement from the presenters. It not only covers language learning strategies but also interesting ways thatlanguage influences culture and how we experience the world around us.

Kerstin is a great writer on the process of learning languages, having published two books as well as a regular blog on the subject. Her podcast really brings her ideas and enthusiasm to life, whether she is interviewing someone, talking on her own, or interacting with a co-host. You should definitely subscribe to the podcast. Also drop by her blog to catch up on all the other language projects she has going!

Kerstin has really put together a great show with her Fluent Language podcast. I sincerely enjoy listening to her interviews. She asks her guests probing questions that we all are wondering about language learning, careers in language and so much more. She is an engaging, energetic speaker and listening to this podcast inspires me to go study and delve even further into the languages I am learning. Her enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you for putting together such a great show, Kerstin!
