Learning Modes

The Learning Modes menu item is used to quickly switch between modes.  The training process is best accomplished when the Learning Modes are done in numeric order, but you may go back and select a prior mode for review at any time.  In either case, simply select the desired mode from the Learning Modes menu.  

Following is a brief description of each mode.
