Learning by Talking
- 1 Comment
I am a very audio learner, but strangely, I learn the most when I am the one talking? Please ask me to explain it, because when I am forced to talk about something, I end up learning more about what I don’t know, and usually learn more about what I do know as well.
A good example is I have been “tutoring” a new Financial Blogger who is a good friend of mine, about how to monetize your web sites and the countless years of tricks I have learned blogging (yes, it didn’t take very long), but I ended up having to think about what I have been doing, and I thought of a bunch of stuff that I hadn’t thought about for a while. This is why I need to talk with people to understand whatever I am doing.
Auditory learning should never be discounted.

We don’t really learn until we explain to others. Since I forget, I like writing and creating visuals for future reference. So in a selfish way, I’m blogging to help myself.
In What Clients Want, Harry Beckwith explains that writing equals thinking and rewriting equals rethinking. We learn as we work to explain better — especially when focused on making our messages clearer and simpler. In your case, you “write” by talking.
By creating this comment (which included editing), I have a better understanding of my thinking. I should be able to explain even better next time.
