Which of these methods of learning is best for you? Use specific examples to support 
your choice. 
 
It may sound strange but my personal approach to learning things is a combination of 
learning by doing, by reading about things and listening to people talking about them. I 
consider that using all three ways (when given the opportunity) is the best way to gather as 
much information as possible about the respective thing.
Sometimes I do not have at hand all three ways of learning so I use whatever is best 
applicable for that specific case. If, for example, I have to learn about a theoretical subject 
that I need to use at my work, first I read all available bibliography on that theme, then I 
try to listen to other people’s opinion on that matter. Combining the two methods, I 
compare my understanding and possible questions regarding that theme with others 
comments and approach.
Another case would be when I have to learn a practical thing like playing squash. In this 
situation the most preferred way to learn is by doing. I would probably ask a trainer to 
show me how to play. After getting acquainted with the movements I may listen to others 
talking about their way of playing, in this way trying to use their tips and tricks of 
becoming a better player. 
A case, in which I would combine all three ways mentioned above, is if I have to learn 
how to use software. Firstly I read instructions and documentation that comes with the 
software, and then I try to apply what I read. If I have difficulties getting the program to 
work properly, I ask people with more experience in the matter to show me how to do it,
