2. AURAL (AUDITORY-MUSICAL)
You prefer using sound and music.
Tips :
- Use sound, rhyme, and music in your learning.

- When creating mnemonics or acrostics, make the most of rhythms and rhyme, or set them to a jingle or a part of a song.

3. VERBAL (LINGUISTIC)
You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
Tips :
