How to choose the way to learn English that's right for you

1. English for visuals

You are a visual if:

You meet and see off on clothes. Never allow yourself to have wrinkled clothes and dirty shoes, or forgive others for a sloppy appearance.
You order the most beautiful dish in the restaurant. Taste and price is the tenth thing, the main thing is to take a picture and post it on Instagram.
Cherish your personal space and pay attention to the interior.
You prefer to look your interlocutor in the eye.
Often unconsciously say: "Look …", "It will be seen there …"
Love to daydream and are good at storytelling. True, rarely and only to relatives.

For visuals, the main sense organ is the eyes. The brighter and clearer the picture, the easier it is for them to remember the information. They love tables and graphs. Long sheets of text make visuals feel bored - everything should be structured and preferably colorful.

For learning English, the flashcards system is suitable for them. There is such an option among the many tools on.

2. English for auditors

You are an auditor if:

Hum often to yourself. Don't spend a day without music.
For you, intonation is more eloquent than words: it is important not what they say, but how.
You are wildly enraged by quiet interlocutors and poor telephone connections. Always speak loudly and clearly yourself.
Send voice messages even when you can write.
In your speech, phrases often appear: "Listen …", "Sounds tempting …"
Love interesting stories, but don't like reading them. Well, football without a commentator for you is not football at all.
Friends and colleagues often turn to you for advice. And you willingly express your opinion.

Audials don't just listen - they hear. And then they immediately retell, supplementing the information received with vivid epithets. The easiest way for them to learn English is through podcasts and songs.

To remember something well, the auditor needs to say it out loud. We have free conversation clubs where you can discuss difficult topics with other students. If you have no time to communicate or you are still ashamed of your pronunciation, open the lyrics and sing in English. If you come across an unfamiliar phrase, add it to your personal dictionary.

3. English for kinesthetics

Learning English Vocabulary: English for Kinesthetics

You are a kinesthetic if:

Always rely on experience. You don't take anything for granted and only learn from your mistakes.
Indifferent to styles and colors. Clothes should just be comfortable.
Never buy a chair on the Internet: first you have to sit and touch it.
Love hugs! Long distance relationships are not about you.
Prefer mobile team games. Between "Mafia" and "Twister" you will definitely choose the latter.
Well versed in coffee, wine, cheeses, or all at once. A heightened sense of smell and taste constantly pushes you towards gastronomic experiments.
There are many expressions in your vocabulary like “I have goosebumps”, “I can feel it”.

Kinesthetics interact with the world through sensations and emotions. Thanks to developed motor and mechanical memory, it is easier for them to practice vocabulary through exercises with writing words, and grammar through interactive tasks.

On the platform, homework is like a game: if you answer correctly, you get points, you get points, you feel like a king. At the same time, the time of a live lesson with a teacher is not wasted on the analysis of homework in Skyeng. Text assignments are checked automatically, and essays and speaking exercises are analyzed by methodologists.

What to do if you don't know your type of perception

Some people have no idea who they are: visuals, audials, or kinesthetics. This is fine. This means that vision, hearing and touch are about the same developed and you can mix different techniques as you like.

Skyeng will help you decide on a methodology for learning English that will take into account all your peculiarities. The teacher-methodologist will determine your language level, ask about goals, interests and convenient time for classes, and then select the training program that suits you best.

What else will be on the course at Skyeng

You will get access to an application that is fully synchronized with your personal account. In the application, you can do your homework at a convenient time and keep a personal dictionary.
