Answer the questions below. Then listen to the audio answers and report back on what you’ve heard.

Do you have a favourite method of learning new things?
TRANSCRIPT

My favorite method of learning new things is using visuals. I love making mind maps, diagrams, and charts to help me see connections between concepts. It helps me break down complicated ideas into simpler parts, making them easier to understand. Plus, I enjoy adding a creative touch, so it becomes more engaging and memorable.

Have you learnt anything recently? How easy/difficult it was?
TRANSCRIPT

Recently, I’ve been learning how to code. At first, it seemed pretty overwhelming with all the different programming languages, but once I found some good resources and broke it down into small steps, it became easier. It’s challenging, for sure, but I’ve been sticking to a practice routine, and I can see myself improving little by little.

Have you ever tried learning something but it didn’t work out? What happened?
TRANSCRIPT

Yes, I once tried to learn guitar, but it didn’t quite work out as I had hoped. I think I lacked a proper plan, and every time I hit a difficult part, like switching between chords quickly, I got frustrated. Eventually, I lost motivation because I didn’t feel like I was making progress. Looking back, I realize I should’ve focused on practicing specific areas more and being patient with the process.
