LEARNING STRATEGIES
● Resourcing: Apart from the materials given in classes, I use many English, French, and

German books found on the Internet to fathom topics. Furthermore, I often complement

subjects with supplementary documents.

● Note taking: I take notes very often in order to remember later or when studying. It helps

me organize the material covered and point out areas of weakness.. By taking notes, I do

not find myself staying up all night the day before a test to study.

● Self-evaluation: I constantly do online exams to notice my language skills level. It helps

me identify strengths and weaknesses to work on.

● Circumlocution: While in English class, if I do not remember how to say a word, I ask

somebody to give a description of what the thing is or what it is for, so that I can practice

my skills.
