Are You an Auditory Learner?

An auditory learner is someone who learns best through listening or using his sense of hearing. But he doesn't depend mainly on listening, he depends on speaking as well during the learning process.

An auditory learner encounters difficulty in understanding drawn or written instructions. Listening and repeating skills help an auditory learner to sort through the information that are presented to him.

There are many benefits of  adhering to the auditory learning style. They are the following.

Ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words - This is decoded through the observation of audible signals like changes in tone.

Writing responses to lectures and seminars - This learning style allows you to listen effectively to lectures and seminars. As a result, you're able to respond in oral exams appropriately. Also, you're able to deliver through oral communication effectively.

Storytelling skills - Auditory learning can help you solve problems by talking problems through. Because of this, you're able to remember the logical order of things as they happen. This is needed in storytelling together with your ability to communicate effectively through speaking.

You'll know you're an auditory learner if:

  • you like to read to yourself aloud
  • you like speaking in class
  • you're good at explaining
  • you remember names
  • you enjoy music and you notice clearly sound effects in movies
  • you read at a slow phase
  • you follow spoken directions well
  • you're able to memorize a script easily
  • you can't keep quiet for a long time
  • you excel more with study groups

8 Money Management Tips for College Students

You can feel financially secure if you have enough money to pay for what you need today and in the future. And, this is one of the many reasons many of us save money and invest (if need be). Here are 10 simple money management tips that can help you even if you're still finishing college. 1. Set aside some cash in different compartments of your wallet.   Ever found some extra cash in your wallet? Did you feel happy finding them "out of nowhere"? I know I did. By doing this, I trick my mind into thinking I have lesser cash on hand to spend, so I won't spend unnecessarily. This is especially useful in "emergency" moments. 2. Carry less cash.   Withdraw just enough money from your bank. The idea is to hold lesser cash. When you open your wallet and find that you only have $5, chances are you're less likely to spend it. Of course, if you do need to spend it, you'll have to withdraw money from your ATM card. This gives you more time to think w

The Easiest Way To Improve Your Vocabulary

Do you want to improve on your vocabulary? If so, then you need to do this as soon as possible. Read books. Yes, isn't that easy? You can start with books that you are more interested about. In my case, I love to read self help / self improvement books. So what I do is to set aside a time to do a quiet reading. Quiet reading for me means that I dedicate a day for reading a book. I keep a pace that is manageable, stopping from time to time to write some notes, highlight some texts and underline some words that I cannot understand. Then I use my dictionary or iPad to know the meaning of the word and write a quick note in it if I am holding a physical book. If not, I just write it in a little notebook and save it for future reading. Then I look for ways to use that word in conversations. I ask for feedback if I am using it right, then I focus on doing it with the next word and so on. See, it is easy to improve on your vocabulary. Just dedicate a time to read books that interest yo

'I planned poorly' is a hundred times better than risking your integrity by inanely blaming traffic." Starting an interesting conversation - "Conversation-making is probably the most underrated skill," says Deepak Mehta, who admits that he's a shy person who's always found it difficult. But experience has taught him that if you dare to strike up a discussion with the person next to you, you might very well end up with a new friend, a business connection, or some novel insights on an old topic.
