One of our beloved teachers, Tsugumi Sensei, is going as a participant of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to the Dominican Republic for two years next year to teach Japanese. JICA is an independent governmental agency that assists with economic and social growth in developing countries and promotes international cooperation.
We did an interview with Tsugumi Sensei so she could further explain exactly what she’ll be doing and how she feels about everything. The interview’s in Japanese, so we invite current students and future students to look at it as a challenge in the Japanese language!
Here’s an overview of the questions we asked her-
JAPANESE
1) どうやって JICA のことを知りましたか？少し JICA について教えてください。
2) JICA にはいろいろな職種がありますがあなたはその中で何をされますか。
3) JICA に応募しようと思ったきっかけは何ですか？どうしてドミニカ共和国を選びましたか。
4) 長い間海外に住むことについて、どう思いますか。
5) ドミニカ共和国で挑戦してみたいことはありますか？ HAI- それは何ですか。また、どうしてですか。今までに、ドミニカ共和国の伝統の食べ物を食べたことがありますか。
ENGLISH
1) How did you first find out about JICA? Can you tell us a little bit about JICA?
2) JICA runs many programs and offers much help around the world- what specifically will you be doing with JICA?
3) What made you decide to join the program? And why the Dominican Republic?
4) What are your feelings about being in a foreign country for so long?
5) What’s something you’ve heard about the Dominican Republic that you’re excited to try or do? Have you had Dominican Republic food before?
We’re very proud of her and wish her the best of luck.
You’re doing a great thing, Tsugumi Sensei!!
