WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?

If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new
word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You
prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in
pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style,
e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.

If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by
repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You
prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions,
by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.

However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes you
may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the
particular task you are doing.
