They prefer to ingest information through audio or video clips, or by discussing a topic. They are able to take in what they need simply by listening intently. Combine this with a tendency to want to talk, auditory learners can sometimes appear disruptive or uninterested in class. They think in words, like wordplay and puns, and love telling stories.
