CNA works to enable more Brazilians to have access to a new language

In Brazil, the stark reality of social inequality manifests directly in English proficiency: only 1% of the population masters the language. In response, CNA, a prominent language education network in the country, is dedicated to democratizing access to language learning opportunities for Brazilians.

In a groundbreaking initiative to make English practice more accessible, CNA has launched the first-ever in-game exchange program: “Gaming Exchange“. This innovative project aims to provide Brazilian students with a free exchange experience with native English speakers, all within the confines of the immensely popular game, Fortnite, and from the comfort of their own homes.

This immersive exchange experience takes place within Fortnite, allowing participants to interact and engage in language practice while playing together
