During my internship at EC Malta I had the opportunity to meet with the Japanese Junior students from Kindai. This was my first intern experience. The students went to St. Martins College (EC’s sister school) with other Maltese students. It was so interesting for them joining various lessons such as History, Physical Education, Art etc… The first few days were hard, as they couldn’t understand much English, however within no time, they made friends and there were loads of smiles. It was a great experience for me and this made me very happy. We went to a lot of places together such as the Blue Grottowhere we saw the clear blue sea and the colorful corals. Everything is so different from our country, the students truly enjoyed it – we had a wonderful time! On the 21st of March we went to the “Good Friday Procession”. It was first time for them studying about Easter traditions and customs. One of the students exclaimed: “I didn’t know before about Malta. Here is wonderful. I was stupid.” And another student said: “I don’t want to go back to Japan. I want to stay more.” Unfortunately, we soon had to say good-bye, however, i can gladly say that after this joyful experience, both the students, and myself could speak better English!
