The Fluency Fix
Quick, actionable episodes on how to build a sustainable language practice — without the burnout, without the overwhelm, without forcing yourself into someone else's system.
Most language learning advice treats fluency like a race: study harder, memorize faster, drill more. But real fluency doesn't come from grinding through flashcards or forcing rigid routines into your life.
It comes from building a practice that adapts to you — rooted in meaning, culture, and the life you're actually living.
The Fluency Fix is your guide to learning any language in a way that's sustainable, human, and voice-first. Each episode tackles a specific challenge, question, or method — giving you tools you can use right away.
Whether you're learning English or exploring another language, this podcast will help you rethink how fluency works — and how to build it on your own terms.
