Hi all,I stumbled across this website and I think a its great website to share with you guys, language learners.
Be aware that different learning types requires different approaches to teach.
Especially to teachers, I think this website would be extremely helpful. Meh aku tepek sket...
Taken from 'Your learning type and language learning'.
Here are some language learning tips for people with each of the four learning types:
Meaning-Oriented Learners
You probably enjoy using the language to buildrelationships with people. You want to observe and analyze socialsituations. It is good for you to plan language learning activitiesaround language functions and communication situations. You may befrustrated by a language learning program based on a grammaticalsyllabus. An approach to language learning you might enjoy is the Relational approach.
Theory-Oriented Learners
You may be more interested in how the language works and thetheoretical implications of the language to linguistic theory. You maybe less interested in using the language as a medium for communication.Achieving communicative competence may be needed in order to achievesomething you want to do. You may need to work at activities that willhelp you develop communication skills and to gain a theoreticalunderstanding of the language.

I can tell you that it took me a while to find the best method for me to learn a language, but after I discovered lingopie, I understood that I could even watch to improve my language skills. And after that, it wasn't problematic for me to take my knowledge of Portuguese to a new level.
