英文原版对话1000个:1217 Learn Types Part 1

 　　Todd: So, Julia, we're both teachers.

 

　　Julia: That's right.

 

　　Todd: And are you familier with the different learner types?

 

　　Julia: A little bit, yes, I encounter different kinds of learners in my classrooms.

 

　　Todd: OK, so for example, what kind of learner are you?

 

　　Julia: I think possibly more than one, maybe overlap¹ on a couple, but primarily a visual learner so I'd have to take it in through my eyes usually like with a picture. I certainly have to see a word if I'm learning a language. I have to see it written down.

 

　　Todd: So you need a phonetic² script? You need something?

 

　　Julia: I need something visual.

 

　　Todd: Yeah for it to stick in your head?

 

　　Julia: For it to stay in my mind, it has to have a visual. I can't just hear it for example. I can't just hear a word and remember it. I have to have some sort of visual to connect it to.

 

　　Todd: OK, so you're a visual learner, anything else?

 

　　Julia: I think it's called a visual learner. I don't know the technical term for it but an emotional learner if a...

 

　　Todd: Really?

 

　　Julia: Yeah. If a piece of information or the thing that I'm learning is attached to an emotional experience, I store it very definitively³. I can remember it. I can recall it. If it's just a neutral, say a sentence, I can't remember it. It has to have a back story. It has to have an emotional connection somehow.

 

　　Todd: Right. It has to have some connection?

 

　　Julia: Yes, yeah. Usually a personal story especially humor. If there's a joke involved, if it made me laugh at the time of learning it. I'm a laughter learner, I don't know if that's a real one but definitely an emotional response makes it much more easy for me to learn something.
