Learn English faster by
finding your learning style
Not everyone learns in the same way. We all have
different learning styles based on our background and personalities, and many
scientists have tried to categorize the way we learn into different styles. One
of the most popular systems was developed by a man called Neil Fleming and uses
the categories below.
Take a look through these learning styles and see
which describes you best, then use the tips for your learning style to help you
learn English faster.
Visual learners
Do you have a preference for pictures and images? If so, you are a visual learner. Visual learners love using diagrams and graphics to help them understand new concepts or ideas.

If you are a visual learner, use flashcards with bold
images on them to remember new vocabulary, and take photos or draw pictures in
your notes to help your mind remember what you learn in class. To help
understand how tense forms work, look for timelines that will show you how they
are used.
Auditory learners
Do you find it easy to understand spoken explanations of things? Do you ever talk to yourself? If so, you are probably an auditory learner.

For auditory learners, listening and speaking
(often writing, too) will help you remember new concepts and ideas. Make use of
any audio resources such as recorded audio of new vocabulary in dictionaries,
and try making your own using the voice recorder in your smartphone. If you are
using flashcards, have written descriptions on them rather than pictures.
Kinesthetic learners
Do you find it difficult to sit still in class? Do you prefer actually having a go at doing something rather than listening to someone explaining it? Yes? That means you are likely to be a kinesthetic learner.

Kinesthetic learners learn by doing or by
associating knowledge with specific actions. If you are a kinesthetic learner,
make the most of your classes by getting involved in any activities and try to
find as many situations where you can use English outside of class as possible.
