Want an Internship You Can Feel Good About?

Recently, I spoke with Andreas Schafers from Germany. He was interning at Team Gifted here in Fukuoka. The school moved to a new facility, recently, and Andreas finished his internship in the new school helping the children there.

Asahi: What is the company's main focus?
Andreas: It's a small school to help students with learning disabilities and/or difficulties. There are about eight students at the moment.

Asahi: What tasks do you do?
Andreas: I teach the children English and play with them.

Asahi: Is there a special technique?
Andreas: It is very simple, just play with the children. Sometimes, I teach them English.

Asahi: What do you plan to do with this experience?
Andreas: I have no plans in this particular field, but I wanted more Japanese experience.

Asahi: Any suggestions to people who wish to intern in Japan?
Andreas: They should learn Japanese first to communicate better in their internship.
