Help: compounds, and some informal expressions

Hello everyone,

I'm a student studying English - Arabic translation, now I'm doing my translation porject which is to translate a book, I choose a very beneficial one. However, it's a bit difficult to me, and my supervisor said that I'm not gonna be able to translate it. But I took the challenge and I'm happy I did!

I have translated 30 pages so far, but I've come across some compounds and expression that I didn't understand. I hope you help me with the meaning of what's writtin in red. Please explain the meaning of what's in green becuase I didn't get the idea.

the book is The Seven Secrets of Learning Revealed,

By Dr. Laurence D. Martel

4- These five results of learning contribute to transforming your current reality into a " state of being" that is different and better than today.

5- Remember that no person is an island, nor is anyone known solely by his or her community.



6- Note the things you want to stop doing to be better learner that will lead to the "future state".

11- To become more close-knit, happier and healthier member in the rest of the areas of your life.

12- we reconstructed the teams to become support group for individual performances and to be a sounding board for the entire group.

13- It's difficult to get a word in with a visual relater since they talk rapidly.

14- Too little attention has been given to people who need to "walk through" the material.

15- Often a person with a strong preference for his modality may have an excellent sense of direction and a deep feeling for how the body works.

this sentence didn't make sense when i translated it, I think I misunderstand it, please explain it. And he keeps repeating the phrase "learning modality" and asserting that everyone has his or her own modality of learning. Does modality here mean a way of learning?

16- Perhaps afternoon is your best time or maybe you "kick in" and are at your best in the evening.

19-Often when learning or improving we " go it along". If you are a solo person or one of your family is, then go ahead and carry out your pursuits in a felf-directed way.

20- " It's too loud" or " It's not loud enough" are frequent household expressions that are often followed by " What's wrong with you?". These expressions are usually meant as "put downs," mean spirited remark or argument.
