READING AND LISTENING

Introduction

READING AND LISTENING

People don't learn in the same way. Most have a preferred style of learning, the way they learn best. We experience the world through our five senses, so when our senses collect information, our brain organizes that information in patterns. There are three main ways most people process information: visual, by seeing; auditory, by hearing; and kinesthetic (physical), by doing. One way of learning is not better than another, just different.

Apart from that, a language requires to practise both skills, combining reading and listening is a way to help you learn a language better.
