I've read in several different places you can split learning styles
into three types (with combined types of course).  This is more than
likely over-simplification, but it's a useful way to think of things:

Kinetic: learns by doing
Auditory: learns by hearing
Visual: learns by seeing (and by this it's not seeing words written
that'd be auditory, but by seeing charts/graphs/etc)

And typically most people learn best by a combination of all three.
