Learning styles
All learners have different styles of learning languages. Some learners like listening and talking, others prefer to analyse text, or study with the help of visual support. Most learners, however, have a mixed learning style. The important thing to remember is that any learning style can lead to successful foreign language learning. For further information and to find out what type of learner you are and what learning style would suit you best, see the links below.
