Auditory learners use their voices and their ears as the primary mode fun learning.
They remember what they hear and what they themselves express verbally. When something is hard to understand, they want to talk it through. When they're excited and enthusiastic about learning, they want to ' express verbally their response. And when an assignment is given orally, they will remember it without writing it down. These learners love class discussion, they grow by working and talking with others, and they appreciate a teacher taking time to explain something to them.
