WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO MASTER THE ENGLISH

LANGUAGE AND UNLEASH THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND

CREATIVITY AT THE SAME TIME?
The LINFA Method is a unique and novel method of
language learning that takes advantage of the
natural connec$on between language mastery,
human intelligence, and crea!vity.

LANGUAGE
nouns
verbs

Crea!vity too, like language, is somewhat like collec!ng and

connec!ng dots. In this context, the dots are concepts or
ideas. When the concepts or ideas are modied, or connected
in dierent ways to other concepts, new ideas and concepts
are created.

The essence of language is the manipula$on of words while

the essence of crea$vity is the manipula$on of concepts. Given
that words are, in fact, simply labels for concepts and ideas,
the connec$on between language and crea$vity should be
rather obvious.

Intelligence is,
quite simply, our
ability
to
perceive, understand, and respond to the world in and around us.

We have all acquired our own ideas of what the world is made up of, how
it works, and our place in it. These are what guide our responses. The
clearer, be!er developed and connected the ideas, the more uent,
condent and intelligent the responses.
Language is a powerful tool for exploring, connec$ng and shaping ideas
to express our intelligence and crea!vity.
Clearly, language, intelligence and crea!vity are deeply inter-connected,
with each suppor$ng and leveraging the others. Any language learning or
mastery programme should take full considera$on of this fact.
