    At the age of 15 I became a CNA student. At that point, I could not speak a single word in English. Now, at the age of 28 I am finishing my bachelor abroad which is entirely taught in English. This is partly because of CNA. Thank you CNA and congratulations for such an awesome and beautiful win-win initiative.

    I grew up never having any grandparents and this made me burst into tears. These old people were so sweet, it's a shame that they get so lonely and neglected by their families sometimes.

    What a wonderful idea! Great inter-generational and cross-cultural experiences. We hosted a young student from Brazil (we are in Canada) and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you to FCB Brasil for this great video and showing how wonderful our world is and how technology can help bring people together! (all those negative comments should be removed - it is so ageist and damaging to our society)

    English is my third language and I have worked as a Nursing Assistant in a retirement home in Phoenix, AZ, United States. As someone who has seen both sides up close, I find this initiative absolutely wonderful. I wholeheartedly wish this would spread and become a common program in many nursing and retirement homes throughout the world.

    I used to love when I studied in CNA, I was too disciplined ... Good times that never comes again
    However today I'm so grateful because it helps me a lot to improve my vocabulary and more than that my listening and comprehension .. and if wasn't it, probably I'd find some problems in my last Exchange abroad =)
    Strongly recomend this school

  • @guilhermevazevedo
    @guilhermevazevedo 10 лет назад

    Oh! It´s a fantastic idea! I was an CNA student. That school is amazing! The people who created this method of learning are just incredibles! Can you imagine, how it is for a person who was forgotten by the own family, talk to young people, that have a new vision of the world, some new histories to talk about. Just perfect! Congrats to CNA!

    This means a lot to the seniors. It's not creepy, because these people are many times abandoned, these older folk are not creepy, speaking to them shouldn't be either, this warm's the heart of these older folk, and teaches respect and kindness to elders

I find myself talking alone in english to practice a little but it's not the same. This is a huge idea!

    This is great. I used to be a Hospice volunteer and simply met with elderly patients to talk with them and listen to their stories once a week. Nursing homes are really difficult to live in as the staff are exhausted or management is bad. Borden homes and retirement living places are a little bit easier on the elderly, but it still gets lonely. It's very rewarding and a great learning experience to volunteer to do this, I would highly recommend it to anyone who's willing to try it.
