Are You a Visual Learner?

Visual LearningThere is a saying in Japanese: 十人十色, ten people ten colors. I think that holds true for learners of a language, too. We are all a little different, so it makes sense that we learn things a little differently.You’ve probably all heard of analytical learners, visual learners, auditory learners, or kinesthetic learners.

December 25th, 2011 Author: Sebastian BuchnerIf you want to be a good photographer, you have to be visually intelligent and literate. What a writer does with words, juggling and dancing with them, subduing them, making them do things that they ordinarily do not, that you have to do with images.But what does it mean to be visually literate? It means to be able to read an image; to understand that in a good image things might be coincidental but never meaningless; to be able to gather information…See More
