EXTROVERT OR INTROVERT?

ARE YOU AN EXTROVERT OR AN INTROVERT?

Is learning a language easier for extroverts? Do you feel learning English as an introvert is too hard?

Here’s useful advice to approach English learning according to your personality and learning style. Jade’s interesting video lesson will help you make the most of your potential as an extrovert or introvert:

The BEST way for YOU to learn English – Extrovert or Introvert?

JADE: Are you learning English in a way that suits your personality and makes you an effective learner? When you learn in a way that fits your personality, you will enjoy your studies more and progress faster. This means that people with introverted personalities are likely to learn best in a way that is different to people with extroverted personalities. Find out the different ways introverts and extroverts like to learn. If you don’t know if you’re an introvert or extrovert, and what that means exactly — I explain all you need to know. Once you know more about your personality and whether you are mostly introverted or extroverted, you can find out what your language-learning strengths and weaknesses are. Remember — it’s not good or bad to be an extrovert or introvert. We’re just different! …But for the record, I’m an introvert and proud ;)

You can find this and other interesting free video lessons on engVId. Remember subtitles are available if you feel it’s difficult to follow the lesson. Hope you find it useful!
