Are you a right-brainer who’s trying to learn a second language? There are some things that come naturally to creative and intuitive individuals like you which you can use to boost your training.
1. Use a language acquisition software (or enroll in a course) that is based around either communicative techniques or immersive learning. Traditional grammar-based instructions are only likely to end up flying over your head.
2. If you’re designing your own learning program (incorporating numerous materials, for example), get help. Many of the skills required to make such preparations are left-brained by nature. As such, there’s a good chance you’ll end up drawing up inadequate plans and activities.
3. Incorporate plenty of opportunities for interaction with your learning, especially ones that call for innovation and creativity. Remember, you tend to learn best when employing your strengths.
4. Use your imagination to your advantage by integrating it when memorizing vocabulary, practicing speech and other activities.
5. Use your intuition to your advantage. Learn to trust your instincts when guessing the meaning of certain words and phrases. When practicing your speaking skills, don’t hold back. Chances are good that you’re doing it right. Even if you’re not, nobody’s watching.
6. Use visual and auditory stimulation to aid your studies. Pictures, music and art can be very beneficial tools for someone of your temperament.
