[10] Are Visual Learners Cursed Or Blessed?

In this episode, I talk about how I discovered my propensity toward visual-spatial learning and how I was able to channel my strengths to learn languages more effectively.

Summary:

• Every time you learn another language, it gets easier than the previous one you learned.
• Your metalinguistic awareness increases as you do it more.
• The main reason why things get easier is that you learn more and more about <span style={{textDecoration: underline}}>yourself – where your strengths and weaknesses are.
• I was a complete failure before I learned that I was a visual learner.
• Sequential learners prefer structure and syllabi – visual learners are more disorganized.
• Visual learners also struggle with retaining audio-only material.
• Rote memorization is a waste of time for visual learners.
