Mostly A’s?

You are a visual learner, you use your eyes. 29% of people are the same as you.

Advice:

In your English class, keep your eyes on the board and all the handouts you are given and you will absorb lots of information. Take advantage of the vocabulary sections in the back of the textbooks which have lots of pictures to help you.

Mostly B’s?

You are a auditory learner, you like to listen. 34% of people are the same as you.

Advice:

Luckily you have lots to listen to: your English teacher, your colleagues, the CD player and every English speaker you meet outside the classroom. Repeat what you hear and your English pronunciation will improve in no time.

Mostly C’s?

You are a tactile learner, you like to move around. 37% of people are the same as you.

Advice:

Underline, highlight and write all over everything. When you role-play situations really pretend to be the character and you will remember the language for a long time.
