Here are some language learning tips for auditory learners:
|
| |
| Use your auditory preference as a bridge to reading and writing skills |
| |
- See if you can get someone to record written stories or dialogues on tape and listen while you read the text.
- Get someone to read portions of a book out loud. Reread them on your own later.
- Look for books on tape or other audio material. Once you can follow the gist of the tapes, play them while you are doing something else.
- If children's literature is available, read aloud to children who speak the target language. Even better, get them to read aloud to you. This is fun and builds relationships as you learn.
- When you read, discuss what you read with others. If you are alone, talk to yourself out loud about what you read.

| Once you have basic proficiency in the language, use your listening ability to help you learn more about the language and culture . |

- Attend lectures or meetings where the language is spoken. Clubs or associations focused on special interests are good possibilities. Find one on a topic that interests you and go listen.
- Ask questions everywhere so you can hear the language spoken by different people about all kinds of topics.
- Listen to the radio and watch TV or videos. In many countries there are all-news radio stations, where the same news is repeated over and over. If you do not understand the first time, keep listening.
- If you can sing, you might want to join a choir.
