Way back in the day when I was learning to speak German in my University of Maryland class in Germany, I knew I could practice what I learned in the streets, talking to the German people. 

 

That is kind of what the CNA Language School in Brazil is doing, teaching kids to speak English and sending them on the internet to practice.  The teens video chat with American senior citizens living in retirement homes here.

 

 

Pretty cool!   Some of the retirees say the kids are like family, and they're even talking about going to Brazil to visit.

I think they should bring the kids here.  Let the youngsters make the trip!
