- Опубліковано 6 тра 2014
- FCB Brasil and the CNA language school network are launching the Speaking Exchange project, which connects CNA students in Brazil with Americans living in retirement homes. This meeting is carried out via an exclusive digital tool that uses video chat technology to bring the students face to face with Americans.

It's shit like this that makes a grown man cry!!
Agree. Those damn ninjas cutting onions and shit...T_T
u don't know him *****
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.
your english is fantastic btw
I am very proud to say that I work at this retirement community and know all of thise residents. This was an amazing project.
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.
This is amazing. I hope more and more schools start similar programs.
The real beauty of language is that it connects people.
Charlie Chaplin said : "More than machinery, we need humanity".
This fits what he said in so many ways. Some faith in humanity restored!
This is awesome!
What a great use of technology AND human nature. Bravo / Valente
I want to congratulate all the people responsible for this project. It is simple great!
This program should be expanded to retirement homes all around the world. What an incredible opportunity for students learning English and seniors, too.
Bravo to the one who thought and realized this project, it is great !!!
I love it! I wanna talk to my grandmother now...
democlis vc por aqui kkkk!!
Fantastic. They should have reunion somewhere, the whole lot of them.
I agree! :)
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
Hats off for CNA! Simply amazing!
Great initiative, to bring peoples of different communities together.
This is some feelgood stuff right here.
absolutely epic stuff did you know its possible to change your luck ? just do a quick search for this video *"Andrew B Channel"* and cheer me later :3
Rudy Roberson I had so much luck yesterday I don't want to push it.
This was beautiful. It's such a wonderful idea because many elderly people are lonely and would enjoy having someone to talk to.
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)
As soon as the japanese kid said "you could stay at my home here" I knew it was all going to the shitter. "You're incredible" and "If you were here I'd give you a big hug" was just too much, that was when my eyes started sweating.
Congratulations on such amazing idea!. This proves that language is a powerful tool to get people closer and enrich each part.
This should be fucking free an open to the whole fucking world because is a wonderful idea! As a mexican I understand very well english because of youtube videos but lack abismal amount of practice in pronuntiation. I find myself talking alone in english to practice a little but it's not the same. This is a huge idea!
***** The thing about omegle and chatroulette is that you encounter lots of naked/fapping guys. A few years ago it was still sorta normal, but nowadays there's just nothing else to see there, besides dicks.
Let me know if you need help.. We could Skype.. and also you could help me with Spanish
This Just Warms My Heart.
nos dias de hoje é raro ver alguma empresa buscando não só o lucro, mas também um projeto que ajude ambos os lados, parabéns a essa empresa, ela merece o meu respeito!
Wait what? I want to teach that cutie some english too
Sebastian Pini Nahhh, I'll teach her 2 languages then
You're missing the point but..oh well, nevermind.
***** nooo... *sighs*
Wesley Siqueira Cara, é só uma brincadeira. Até o alemão entendeu e tu fica de frescura aí. Vai trabalhar, bicho.
Michael009
yesss :D
WONDERFUL! I'm proud to be part of this company!
I'm just in tears. What a wonderful idea! Old ppl have a lot of wisdom and love to share around the world. I'd to chat with them too.
I wish we had something like this here in Spain. This is seriously wonderful.
This is beautiful. And it's amazing just how far technology has come and how far it will continue to go.
Projeto simplesmente perfeito! Usar a tecnologia da maneira certa é isso! Parabéns CNA!
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!
"Only one? Oh you poor fella" lol
Can I cry and stuff cos I just did and stuff.
So did I...
yes you can, you are gay, so no problem
Cool manners, bro. I'm sad you were raised as an arrogant, intolerant and ignorant individual by your family. Grow up already.
SirKevinMartin unfortunately is this type of Brazilian which finishes with our image and reputação.please ignore , he does not represent my country .
Thiago Araujo Wow. You really said that, well, my bad but, you're nobody here.
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.
Foi a atitude mais linda que presenciei nos últimos tempos. Parabéns ao CNA.
"hey... so what are you wearing"
Thank you for speaking my mind.
"Me..? Oh dear, my brown pants and diapers....Wait, I don't have any brown pants...ok, It seems I'm wearing pants only" :D :D :D
am i smiling? i am smiling. :)
Ooohh can I cry? *-sobs-*
This too awesome~~!
The most powerful thing in the world is the communication!
What a great idea. Too many divides in the world today and this is a great way of bringing people together with a positive outcome.
What a beautiful initiative CNA!
***** You are such an idiot!
Faith in humanity restored. Or just not given up completetly but this is such an great idea and it warms my heart. :)
Sensacional, simplesmente fantástico! Me emociono todas as vezes que vejo o vídeo. O que eles querem é apenas alguém para conversar... Esses seres maravilhosos apenas querem dar seu amor. Grande ideia, Parabéns!!
I can't see this vidio without tears.Old people have opportunity to help students leaning english and do it with pleasure. I like this vidio.
Such a brilliant use of technology! I know the conversations are on a private channel, but if you can share more, we would love to see!
Great idea!
Well done CNA.
And for those who wants to know about the music in the background, that's "Ice Dance" from Danny Elfman. It was in the Edward Scissorshand OST.
BY Dany Elfman. dud! :p
What a great, yet simple, idea!
Congratulations, CNA!
What an amazing idea! It made me cry! Congratulations, CNA!
Fantastic initiative!
Oh my God.. This is fantastic, really nice.
Great project!! Congratulations CNA Brazil!
Yeah, I'm 70+ years old, and people speak to me only when they need something, like learning my native language for example. Such an awesome life being old!
2:15 , nice catch buddy , nice catch haha !
What an inspiring idea, God bless you guys and give you more strength!
Great hats off for the initiative
Fantastic work!
Parabéns, parabéns, parabéns e parabéns ao CNA! Fantástica a iniciativa! :-)
wonderful! Excelente iniciativa!
This is great. Whoever thought of this is a genius!
Ideia simplesmente foda e muito generosa!
One of the most brilliant brand efforts I've seen in a while. Beautiful!
It's an emotional way to learn English, and the main point which is "Experience Change" is way too good - very inspirational :)
Andddd why am I crying? Lmfao I just love old people, they are the best!
+Sky Pie Same here!! I've seen this video twice I can't still control myself! This initiative is beautiful :')
Yeah, this is the right way to use the Internet and new technologies, instead of wasting hours and days playing games and chatting uselessly..
I'd also like to have such a chance to improve my English ) And also I like speaking to old people, I understand them well and maybe if I had a chance to communicate with them I wouldn't miss my Grandparents so much(
Having fun is a waste of time?
Why not both?
why not zoidberg?
Why not combine them: gaming with old people while speaking with them on teamspeak! Grandpa I need a heal I need a heal!
Shuruto I do that. i practice my english when playing video games cause i play on american servers(im latin)
Shuruto i love you
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
Omg this may be one of the greatest things I've seen! This should be available in every country! *teary eyes*
Vey splendid. Many touching. Such wow
Parabéns CNA pela iniciativa. Muito Melhor do que "Professores Americanos 24 horas por dia"....if u know what i mean!
What a wonderful idea! Congratulations!
I always recommend CNA to learn english. I studied for 3 years and half from 2002 to 2006, and I still remember many things and method they used to use! I enjoyed studying at CNA, now I am 25 years old and my first contact for speaking english was last month, I could speak and undestand people after years of studying.
And now CNA brings this great idea !
Muito bacana essa iniciativa! Do caralho mesmo!
Things get awkward later when one of the octogenarians says "You Mexicans sure are nice."
"Soooo...do you like tacos?"
ahahahahah
But they are Brazilians.....
This is an initiative that everyone can do to make a difference in the world. Two thumbs up for you! Great job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would like to try this with someone, especially with old people, they're wise and have more experiences, and from another culture, and it's going to made your day by just knowing that you made a smile on someone's face because they felt alone but you were there to talk for a moment ,that's a brilliant idea,
Brillante!
That's just beautiful.
I have to say, this is just amazing!!! Congrats to all who supported this fantastic idea!
This is why I want to teach English as a foreign language to German students. This video is absolutely beautiful and never ceases to make me cry. This is the impact that I want to make in the world!
I would love to see the full length videos...
GENIAL !!!
cant. stop. smiling. seriously ive got tears in my eyes
Genial, nada melhor do que proporcionar aos jovens uma forma de praticar o inglês e aos idosos alguém para conversar. Projeto genial!
Edward Scissorhands soundtrack! ♥ ♥
The very cute girl in this video made me watch this.
This is idea is absolutely brilliant. What an excellent way to not only connect different languages from all over the world but connect people of different ages and cultures. This is genius and very heartwarming.
Being a brazilian born citizen, and a naturalized US citizen, it really touched me to watch this video. Great idea!
Is a win win situation, they need people to talk to and the kids need to improve their english, that should be a common program across the country (USA) among other countries too.
Oh man, I had to change the oil of my car to feel manly again.
La mejor noticia que he visto en este mes!, de verdad que te deja como con un nudito en la garganta; y en lo personal me dieron ganas de abrazar a esos viejitos.
This is lovely. Thumbs up to the person who thought of this idea :)
That girl Julia is freakin' gorgeous
''You are my new granddaughter!'' que liiiiiindo :')
Sinto muito orgulho de ter me formado nessa escola, e ainda mais pela iniciativa linda e brilhante, meus parabéns a todos os envolvidos. | I feel so proud of this school. And even more with this beautiful and brilliant initiative, congratulations to all involved.
Keep the good and amazing work up!
Toda propaganda de empresa, seja ela qual for, tem um intuito comercial,ainda que parcial. Quando esta propaganda busca isso com demonstração de humanismo, mostrando que pode-se ir além de ensinar inglês, que se pode fazer isso ensinando sobre relacionamento humano, com interação com pessoas diferentes, de idades e países distintos, é sinal que o objetivo da propaganda é atingido com maestria. Amanhã a CNA ganha um novo aluno, parabéns!
146 thumbs down for this video? I feel sorry for them because they have no love in their lives.
Very nice.
Absolutly amazing!! Well done CNA! How has nobody thought about this yet?
Congratulations to CNA. It's a lovely project!
Ingenuous & Humane
BRILLIANT.
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.
Parabéns FCB team! It was one of the best news of the month for me. Amazing, Touching ...
