&quot;the fact that you THINK you have these different styles&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t just &quot;THINK&quot; it.  I know it...and I have my own empirical evidence which has shown me which methods work for me (and which ones don&#x27;t).  I enjoy learning new things and have tried many, many different things and have helped other people learn as well.<p>I also ran a language study group for Japanese (and I had a language learning startup for a short-time) and I noticed the same thing with many people in the group (all the learners are adults over 25).<p>It may be anecdotal, but to me, there is no one-size fits all for learning.  The trick is to find the most efficient way to learn and process new pieces of information and continue with those ways.
