- Hello Sandra, you’re here working in..um.. Arusha in Tanzania.
?
- I’ve been here for seven weeks now.
- And I must ask you, why is a..a girl from Germany working in Africa, or
in Tanzania.
- Oh actually..um..well I
in Cardiff at the moment, and I..um..
had to do an internship somewhere . And I didn’t wanna do it
in..in Britain because I’d been there before and worked there before so I
decided I’d do something and try Africa.
- S..so it’s connected to your studies?
- Yes, yeah..it’s
I have to do this.
- An..And how does it connect, is it in the hotel and catering industry or…something
like that?
- Well I..I study
and it’s a program for four
years, and..er..
- So your going to be here for four years?
- No, it’s actually..um.. the course..the study..um.. is for four years,
but..um..the internship is just for three months.
- And what do you think of it? How long have you been here so far?
- Well I’ve been here seven weeks and I’ve worked in the office in Arusha
for weeks
and then I’ve been at Colobus Lodge for
,
and it’s definitely an experience it’s not quite what I
but it’s been good so far.
- How do you communicate with the people you work with? Do you speak any
Swahili?
- Erm..I speak
and
I can say the greetings and everything, but um..yeah..it’s
because
most people don’t speak a lot of English and some of their English is
, so I think I underestimated it
. I should really speak some more
Swahili.
- And what’s next…wh..where do you go from here…when this finishes?
- Erm…well ’for
another two weeks and then ’holiday
for two weeks, on
a safari and then ..um.. go to Zanzibar and then
fly back to Germany and then back to Britain.
- Great! Well that sounds great. Thank you very much.
