7How to Learn as a Social Learner?
If you’re an extroverted or/and a good communicator, you might be a social learner. Social learners learn better in groups, either when talking with others, or just listening. Some lessons might make more sense when other people explain it!
To learn as a social learner, favour work collaborations, role plays, oral presentations and conversations with other students. And if you’re learning alone, fear not : do some research for linguistic and bilingual gatherings around you.
8How to Learn as a Solitary Learner?
Some people would rather study alone and be independent in their projects. If you feel that other people would slow you down, don’t be afraid to learn a new language alone. You can try learning with an app, or buy some exercises books… You just need to be organized and motivated enough to practice every day.
Be careful though. If you’re learning something alone, you risk learning things wrong or form bad habits and bad pronunciation. It might be a good idea to check your level with a private teacher. With online courses, you can still be a solitary learner, since you have a private teacher.
9How to Use Mixed Learning Methods?
Obviously, you might want to take advantage of two or three learning methods at the same time. Just try to realize what types of learners you are, and adapt your study sessions according to the results. If you’re a visual and verbal learner, write colorful vocabulary lists before reading them out loud. You can also choose to alternate between different methods, just to see which one works best for you.
Did you find out what type of learner you are? Do you know any learning methods that are working for you? It’s worth taking the time to think about it : you will progress faster with the right learning method. And if you wish to optimize your learning time, try the SMART method.
