CNA English school

580 language centers in Brazil

More than a half-million students

Not all of our students have the chance to travel abroad and to interact with native speakers of English

What our student’s really want is to speak English fluently and we are always asking ourselves how can we make it more real, more human.

They want to practice English.

Chicago, USA

Retirement community

And they just want someone to talk to

The idea: bring them together.

CAN presents

Speaking exchange

We created a tool that connects our students with seniors in the USA living in retirement homes
