Learn the Language, Find the Community
Three ways to practice, connect, and feel at home in Salvador — a Weekly Language Exchange, Portuguese classes, and an English speaking club.
Kin Language Lab
The Kin Language Lab is our weekly language exchange bringing together Afro-Brazilians and members of the African diaspora living in Salvador. We practice Portuguese and English through games, conversation, culture, and community.
No registration required. Just show up, order something, and join us.

Introduction to new vocabulary and useful expressions.
Week 2 — Going to the Doctor
Interactive games, activities, and conversation.
Week 3 — Handleing Emergencies
Use what you've learned through conversation and real-life situations.
