Learning Style

As an autonmous learner and based on my previous experiances of learning a language I can learn best when learning begings with the big picture concepts or theories and works toward the particular applications. I can remember words once I see the pictures and hear them over and over.In the past I have learned language by using flash cards, CD players and simply playing with words. I am expanding my knowledge of Farsi by reading online farsi articles, use farsi dictionary and translating from English to farsi. I can speak the language and have some difficulty in writing and structuring sentances in farsi and I am aiming to work on those areas.Sofia Jelanizada
