Analytical Learner
If you follow this learning style you like to make connections between different areas of learning.
You work best by setting goals and tracking your progress. You take a meticulous approach to "get it right".

Concrete Learner
You trust your intuition and emphasise context. You'll probably learn languages best in
a "real" setting rather than a classroom. You're willing to plough ahead for the sake of learning, even when you make
mistakes - a useful quality in a successful language learner.
Visual Learner
You like videos and interactive methods of learning. Your notes are often graphical and
you like using highlighters. You make pictures in your mind's eye when learning vocab. and use visual associations.
As a visual learner, you're sure to benefit from visual learning maps. An example is created
here for you to download and adapt:
Auditory Learner
You enjoy audio methods of absorbing information, for example audio books rather than written
ones. You learn effectively by listening and repeating. You pick up pronunciation relatively fast.
You learn vocab. by recording yourself or by associating words with sounds. Background
music (e.g. classical) really helps you to learn.
Tactile Learner
You enjoy touching something physically to understand it fully. It helps you to feel
comfortable while learning and also standing and stretching often. Create physical props (e.g. vocab. flashcards)
to make sure you learn effectively.
Kinesthetic Learner
You are similar to a tactile learner in needing physical stimulus. You prefer to jump in
and "play" rather than learning in the abstract. You do not particularly enjoy classrooms.
You use body language well to communicate and would benefit from a person-to-person language
exchange with a native speaker. You can often study in bed without falling asleep and also enjoy studying outdoors.
