Would you like to learn English as a 'native learner', from the comfort of your own home or office? The Optimnem EFL (English as a Foreign Language) Program provides a uniquely-powerful and effective way of helping you to acquire a good overall level of English fluency in just one week.

Optimnem�s Director, Daniel Tammet (born in London, and a native English-speaker), is a modern-day savant � a �native learner� with an extraordinary mind which has been studied extensively both by the media and science communities. Uniquely healthy and articulate, free from the sorts of disability often associated with exceptional mental function, Daniel is able to provide unique and unprecedented insight into the mind of the super-gifted.

Daniel describes his mental attitude as 'fluid thinking'. This includes the ability to imagine, dream, be creative, observe, connect and be perceptive. Fluid thinking helps connect us all to our rich ancestral legacy of first-hand, experiential learning - at one time, passed down from generation to generation through word of mouth alone.

We can contrast fluid thinking with the second-hand opinions and stale prejudices that many people mistake for real thinking. It is this second kind of thinking, which can often lead to bigotry and intolerance. Being unable to think or learn first-hand is a serious handicap, both for individuals and society at large.

Daniel decided to make his idea of 'fluid thinking' as accessible and useful as possible, by breaking down his major insights into individual concepts. The concepts help spell out the key ways in which Daniel thinks, learns and is able to perceive the world around him. These concepts are at the heart of the Optimnem learning program, and are readily adaptable to individual subjects, such as Maths or learning a foreign language.

1. 'Contextualisation' - placing ideas, words or numbers into a larger, wider, more whole context

2. 'Connection-building' - perceiving the inter-relationships between different elements or ideas

3. 'Rule of Inherency' - seeing that words/numbers/ideas are made up of smaller, inherent and interwoven parts

4. 'Perspective Shift' - looking at items from different sides or angles as a means of understanding them better

5. 'Algo-rhythms' - understanding that words/numbers/people function/behave according to recognisable, inherent pattern

6. 'Perception sensitization' - sensitive perceptions encourage and develop mental clarity and insightfulness

7. 'Image-based thinking' - using mental pictures/imagery to allow ideas and associations to flow more freely

The 21st century promises to be an exciting and innovative time for all of us, not least in the fields of learning and education. With the advent of digital technology and ultra-fast communication, the opportunities for personal development and education have never been greater.

The Optimnem program is at the forefront of the e-learning revolution. Freed up from the limitations of individual textbooks or classrooms, students can - for the very first time - access extensively-developed, content-rich information specific to their natural learning instincts, from the comfort of their home or office.

In a single week, Optimnem course participants can expect such things as a complete underlying grasp of a foreign language, or a mastery of numbers. The individual courses have each been exhaustively developed, designed in colloboration with actual native-speaking qualified teachers and leading authorities in their respective fields.

Each course is interactive. Students will have one-on-one access to each course's native expert, as well as to Optimnem creator and director, Daniel Tammet.

We, at Optimnem, are deeply excited about the opportunities presented to each one of us by the unique insights of the 'native learner' and 'fluid thinking' concepts, and by the e-learning revolution. Learning how to learn has never been easier, or more important.
