I think watching videos is more helpful, especially for things that are hard to understand. For example, if you want to learn how to cook a dish, it's much easier to watch someone do it step by step than just read a recipe. Videos are also more interesting and you can pause or replay them if you don't get something the first time. That's why so many young people prefer YouTube or TikTok for learning new things.

For me, reading books is more helpful. When you read, you can really improve your vocabulary and reading skills. Books usually have more details than videos, so you can learn more about a topic. Also, you can read at your own speed and go back to difficult parts if you need to. Plus, you don't need the internet or a phone, so you can read anywhere.

I think it depends on the person and the subject. Some people learn better by watching videos, especially for practical things like cooking or fixing something. Others prefer reading books, especially for theory or when they want more details. Actually, using both ways together is probably the best because you get the advantages of both.
