How to Study - The Different Ways of Learning

There are three main ways to interpret information when studying for any type of exam. I have explained what they mean and how to get the most out of how YOU Study.

Visual - This indicates you would benefit by underlining, highlighting, using colored markers, making colorful mind maps, drawing pictures, symbols or graphs. Diagrams underline the common point here. If you are visual, then get into the habit of engaging your visual mode for learning by using imagery as you study automatically picturing, making mental pictures of what you are studying whenever possible and project them onto an imaginary Mental Movie Screen, to enhance your way of learning best, make your mental pictures colorful, humorous, exaggerated and full of action. This will make stronger impressions of the information by involving more brain cells hence this greater neuron connection will assist in lengthening your memory in regards to different subject material and making the information easier to recall.

During your exams, look at your Mental Movie Screen and recall the mental pictures, graphs or drawings, doing this will help lead you to the necessary information. If all fails, then imagine your professor on your Mental Movie Screen and ask your professor for the answer. In most tests, it is best to write something for an answer than nothing at all. Get into the habit of using your Mental Movie Screen to impress any visual information you need to remember. Practice makes perfect.

Auditory - Then learn to engage your auditory mode for learning by attending all your lectures, discussing what you learned, including any visuals used, with others during study sessions. You can also record your lessons and listen to them later. Get into the practice of explaining what you have learned to an imaginary audience of children out loud. This will allow you to hear the
information and evaluate you understanding of it. Don't get caught up in the listening to every detail you hear in lectures however and remind yourself to take down short notes. During your test, read the test question, listen to your inner voice giving you the answer and write the answers down. You can also talk quietly to yourself to solicit the answer. If all else fails, ask your professor for the answer and hear him give you the answer, then write it down.

Kinesthetic - Then engage your senses and be as hands on as you can. Incorporate your kinesthetic mode of learning by imagining how something feels, immerse yourself of being in the experience whenever possible, using your imaginary sense of touch, engaging the emotions and/or by doing some kind of rhythmic action as you learn such as pacing or tapping your fingers lightly. Explain what you have learned to an imaginary audience as if you were actually there in front of the audience doing the presentation, using props and explaining the feeling of the 'process' to the audience Of course the best results are achieved when you learn to engage all three learning modes. However as mentioned earlier refer back to what you find most helpful when you get stuck. And practice, practice, practice

A Fun Way of Learning English - Watching Movies

Getting bored reading grammar books to learn English? Want to learn it in a fun way? Try watching a movie. While learning English by understanding its grammar is fundamental, you need to be exposed to it being used in real-life situations. If English is not a common language in your environment, you can find people using it naturally in movies. Find the subtitles, and you're good to go.

Learning English by watching a movie is fun, and when you are relaxed you will likely learn more than when sitting in your classroom thinking about your turn for answering your teacher's question. You can watch a movie alone and rewind it and freeze it whenever necessary. A movie provides you with a lot of input that helps you improve your language competence. A movie shows you how native English speakers actually interact with each other, how they communicate their intentions and desires. There are a lot of ways to express things, and from a movie you might find a different way of saying something other than what you already know. You can learn more about the background or situation and what kind of tone the people use in the situation. It is hard to picture one's intonation when you are reading a written dialog, and less hard when you actually listen to it. However, nothing beats seeing the actor's facial expressions and listening to how they express their feelings at the same time. From watching movies intensively you will develop a feel for correctness. When exposed to a test on structure, one might get the correct answers because they "feel that those are the correct ones," while actually they have stored it in their memory albeit subconsciously. You can also learn about native speakers' cultures, lifestyle, manners, and customs from watching a movie. For example, you will know that they start a conversation with a stranger by talking about the weather.

Pick up a movie that meets your purpose. Choose one that goes with your competence level and of a genre that you'll enjoy. Turn the subtitles on. Prepare a notebook to write down expressions that interests you, and a dictionary just in case.
