    <description>Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three!
The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us.
We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love.
It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)

  <description>Rebecca from New York asked
Can you talk about how to set up a reasonable weekly schedule for language learning?
In this show, I've got five simple steps for you that will help you plan a successful week in language learning. I'll talk about setting goals, managing your energy, analysing your calendar, and matching your activity to your strengths.
A reasonable schedule for learning languages is one that doesn’t make you groan, but isn’t empty either.
Here's what matters most:
prefer regular to all-in-one
Ensure you speak, read, listen, write
Have at least one big session, preferably more than one
Review after a few weeks
