Learning by Seeing, Speaking and Doing
It has been discovered that we learn:
10% of what we read
20" of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we say
90% of what we say and do.
So if we combine all of this we could learn faster? Well, let's try it. This month I have reviewed "The Learning Revolution" by Gordon Dryden and Dr Jeannette Vos and in it they describe a very quick way of learning to count to ten in Japanese by seeing, speaking and doing. Consider the following:
| English | Japanese | Say | Do |
| one | ichi | itchy | Scratch your |
| two | ni | knee | Knee |
| three | san | Sun | Point to sky |
| four | shi | she | Point to girl |
| five | go | go | Walk |
| six | roku | rock | Rock 'n' Roll |
| seven | shichi | shi-chi | Double Sneeze |
| eight | hachi | hat-chi | Put on hat |
| nine | kyu | coo | Coo like a dove |
| ten | ju | ju | Chew (or don Jewish cap) |
If you practise that a few times you will be able to count to ten in Japanese with no problem. So by seeing (having read this article) and then saying and doing, you will have learnt some new information very quickly. What other things can you learn quicker in this fashion?
