If you know which type of learner you are, you are able to learn much faster! Everyone learns in another way. Just because something works good for person A, doesn’t mean it will work good for person B. Many years ago I found a blog written by a guy who learns languages really fast. So I tried to use the same methods but for some reason it didn’t work AT ALL. I just moved on trying to find “the best learning method ever”. Of course I didn’t find it, because there is non that works for all. If I think about it now, all his methods were for people who learn through listening. And I’m to 90% a visual learner. No way it could have worked for me. But there are still people trying to use the newest, best and most trending language hack. In the end most of them will be disappointed.

Let’s look at it like it’s a superpower. If you can remember stuff someone told you months ago, then your superpower is your listening skill, because many people couldn’t even remember it, if their life depends on it. And if you saw a photo as a child, and still know how it looked like, then congratulations, your superpower is your visual learning skill.

So to learn as fast as you can and especially to remember it later, it’s important for you to find out which superpower you have and USE IT!

________________________________

Time to find out which superpower you have! There are several tests on the internet but they will more or less all tell you the same.

Here’s a test I chose with 20 questions you have to answer. You will find out if you learn best through listening, seeing or doing. There are other tests that even divide it into 7 learning types or more, but in the end it’s still one of these 3.

________________________________

Here are learning methods you should try, depending on your result.

Visual (learning through seeing):

• Use colors.
  
• Take photos
• Look at pictures.
• Use well organized layouts.
• Make mindmaps.
• Use/Make diagrams.
• Make a visual journey in front of your inner eye.
• Use flashcards
• Draw pictures
• Visualize things you hear
• Try to make everything look pleasant to your eyes
• If you learn a new word picture the situation. When could you use it?
• Write with native speakers.
• Watch movies.

Auditory (learning through hearing and speaking):

• Listen to music while reading the lyrics.
  
• Podcasts
• Radio
• Try rhymes.
• Use the right sounds/music playing in the background while studying.
• Record yourself and listen to it.
• Change the lyrics of your favorite song and sing along of a karaoke version.
• Talk to yourself.
• Talk to native speakers.
• Read everything out loud.
• Speak out loud what you are writing.

Tactile (learning through doing):

• Use your touch sense.
  
• Walk around while studying.
• Imagine how it would feel like to do the things you learn. For example the word pizza, imagine how you make one.
• Describe things. For example if you learn the German word “Kaffee” (coffee), describe the warmth, how the cup feels, were you put it, etc.
• Use physical objects as much as you can (flashcards, etc.)
• Draw pictures.
• Build things with your hands.
• Write stuff down.
• Use role playing while you act like you’re in a specific situation.
• Pay attention to your breathing.
• Chew a gum.
• Trace words with your fingers.

There are many more things you can do, depending on your superpower. You just have to be a little bit creative (or google what learning methods work best for [insert your superpower here] lol). ^_^

Today’s my last day of high school and I managed to go through it without crying (pretty proud of myself). That is, until the principal put the ‘High School Musical Soundtrack’ on the hallways.

I’ve spent my whole weekend catching up on chapter readings and lectures because I procrastinated all week. It’s definitely harder to maintain motivation and focus when we aren’t meeting up for classes. I think I learned my lesson though so I hope to follow my schedule to avoid this issue next weekend.

7日目の単語 (なのかめのたんご) Day 7 Vocabulary

十一月十六日月曜日 (じゅういちがつ　じゅうろくにち　げつようび) Just saying the date!

—The challenge where I force myself to memorize an entire vocabulary list a day—

So we just started a new chapter and I don’t have the vocabulary memorized, so I’ll have to halt the video once again and get these textbook words out of the way. But like I said, I have to learn them all anyway, so I’m not too concerned!

I have a lot for this list because I learned some of these a while back and I’m only relearning them, which should be a lot faster and easier than seeing them for the first time. I also rly need to get these out of the way so I can go back to finishing the JLPT N5 Vocab video, soo yah lol
