LinearThinking - The English Thinking Method for Vietnamese Learners
Back then, students thought that learning English just required memorizing vocabulary and grammar. But that’s not true. When Mr. Lực, the founder of DOL, introduced LinearThinking, students realized that English can be learned in a completely different way. They discovered how Vietnamese influences English learning, slowing down progress. They learned that it’s not about memorizing more vocabulary but about shifting their mindset to simplify learning and leverage their existing vocabulary to speak and write effectively.
Below are some videos on LinearThinking by DOL. Watch them and see for yourself: https://www.dolenglish.vn/gioi-thieu-linearthinking

- Top-class facilities: DOL English’s campuses in Hanoi and other cities are designed to provide an ideal learning environment with premium facilities, offering students an exceptional learning experience.
