Languages of Learning

As a teacher and homeschool mom, it’s important that I know how best to teach each of my individual students so that they learn best.

There are many different personality types and styles of learning and I want to utilize best methods to teach my kids so they are most successful.

Five Languages of Learning

There are at least five main ways that people express their learning language, with one way usually being more predominant than others.

1. Visual (Spatial):

Visual learners benefit when they have an image or cue to help them process information. They may need to map things out in order to completely understand their thoughts.

Characteristics of visual learners include: 

  • A good spatial and directional sense
  • Can easily visualize objects, plans, and outcomes
  • Are good at using maps and rarely get lost

2. Aural (Auditory-Music):

This is a very unique type of learning and is classified by those who primarily respond to sound. Many people who are aural learners are also musicians, and learn the information better when it’s presented through the medium of a song or a clever rhyme.

Characteristics include:

  • Listens to music in the background while learning or working
  • Has a good sense of pitch or rhythm
  • Often hears songs, jingles, and themes in their head without prompts

3. Verbal (Linguistic):

Verbal learners are successful when they receive instruction verbally or through writing, and excel with both. These learners usually pursue careers in public speaking, writing, journalism, and debate. You may be a verbal learner if you need to read content aloud in order to learn something or if you prefer to have someone speak the information to you so you can process it.

Characteristics include:

  • Enjoys reading and writing
  • Likes tongue twisters and rhymes
  • Has a large vocabulary and enjoys learning new words

4. Physical (Kinesthetic):

The people who learn physically are the people who like to get their hands dirty. Physical learners are very animated and are always moving. If you don’t learn something until you do it, or are constantly in motion while you speak, you might be a physical learner.

Other characteristics include:

  • Appreciation for the physical world around them
  • Enjoys sports, exercise, and other outdoor activities
  • Tends to use and pick up on body language

5. Logical (Mathematical):

Many logical thinkers end up being engineers, mathematicians, or pursuing the sciences. This is because of their unique way of learning. These individuals want to understand the reason behind everything and enjoy games like chess and doing brainteasers. Logical learners tend to prefer making organized lists while studying and extracting key points from the material.

Logical learner characteristics also include:

  • Create procedures for future use
  • Classify and group information together to gain a better understanding
  • Planning and ranking agendas and itineraries

I know you've been on the edge of your seat, wonde I know you've been on the edge of your seat, wondering about my dishwasher saga. The plot thickens. Two weeks ago the repair guy came out and I thought it would be fixed but no! Two electronic boards shorted out while he was trying to repair it and replace the first board so then he had to reorder two boards. This afternoon he showed up again to fix it. Only one board got ordered. I had my bulldog (husband) call the company and question the situation. Someone dropped the ball and didn't order the second board. So hopefully this gets resolved and sometime this week I might have a working dishwasher. Reminder that it's been nonworking since April 4th.

    I’m more of a visual and physical learner. I learn best by watching others and then doing it myself.

    This is great, Jennifer! I am an auditory learner. This year I am reading the Bible through and also, at the same time, listening to the audible version. It’s helped me comprehend so much more. Thank you for all this great information. This is so helpful for homeschooling moms. We don’t all learn the same way.

    Pinning!

      Yes, exactly which is why I talk to teachers about adding a podcast to their class curriculum for those that learn via auditory.
      Thanks for sharing at the Traffic Jam Weekend Linky Party.

    Verbal probably describes me best. It’s wonderful to be exposed to many aural learners while growing up, but I always marvel at the logical ones.

    Hi Jennifer, I came to your site from the Anything Goes linky party.

    I am a visual learner for sure and it’s been kind of hard for me that two of my boys don’t really like reading or learning that way! I studied Howard Gardner’s 7 Kinds of Smart rather extensively in college and knew of a few ways to try and figure out how they learn best… and how to teach them. It’s an area I still find fascinating.

    It’s probably about time for me to take a fresh look at these and reevaluate where we all are in our homeschool these days. Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!
