 你好！Hello! Hola! こんにちは!

Hi everyone! I’m Bruce, the intern from Taiwan in LEX America.

I had stayed in Boston for almost 2 months, and I kind of felt like Boston is my second hometown now.

My family had several homestay experience before form LEX, that’s the first I knowing  about LEX. And then my sister Nancy, became an intern in LEX in Japan for a year, she recommended me should experience it. (With all the blessing and exciting, here I come, Boston!)
Since we don’t have LEX club in Taiwan, so this is my first time to join the LEX club, and I was enjoyed in it a lot!
For me, it’s a whole new way to learn another language like this. It’s more natural and you felt absolutely comfortable in the community that create by LEX. And I think it’s easier for kids and adults to develop their first or second language in this 
environment, and also they know the concept of sharing and other social skills.
My hostfamily were super nice and friendly to me, so I don’t have to worry about what to do on weekend.Living with hostfamily, I felt I’m the part of their family and having a strong connection with them. The relationship between me and my hostfamily is more like family not just friends.And by living with them, I felt fully immersed myself in their culture and that’s the things you never experienced by only traveling.

I have traveled around Boston and the nearby city by myself too! Always exciting to visit new cities and those famous places!Time Flies, it’s already two months passed, I’ll keep exploring and learning in the last one month!


For those who are interested in being an intern in Boston, just do it!

Stephanie-こんにちは！Konnichiwa! Hello!

こんにちは！Konnichiwa! Hello! My host sister Asuka and I in 小えど, Japan Hi everyone!  My name is Stephanie, but in Japan I've already been given the nickname  Su-chan　 す－ちゃん    (su from Stephanie since the Japanese pronunciation is su-teh-fah-nee, and -chan is added to the end of a name when you are speaking to a younger person or a friend), so you can call me Su-chan! I am one of the five Hippo interns working in the LEX headquarters office in Tokyo this year. In addition to me, from Wisconsin, the intern team is made up of Tino from Mexico, Sakun and Ken Ken from China, and Hiu-chan from Korea. It's great to have such an international group!    Before coming to Japan I attended the University of Wisconsin and graduated with a degree in fine art. During that time I also worked for Wisconsin 4-H International Programs, which is how I first learned about Hippo through the 4-H/Hippo summer and yearlong exchanges. Last summer I had the opportun...

Hayley- Life goes on

Life goes on Yesterday, I was able to go into work for about half the day.  It was great being there, but it struck me how tired everyone looked.  It wasn't just them though. . . I know I looked tired too.  The emotional toll of the past days has been very draining.  There is so much going on, and so much uncertainty as events continue to unfold.  No matter where you turn, there is something to remind you that life is not as it should be. I look at my laptop, where BBC News' Live Stream reminds me of the unfolding situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.   I think of the rescue efforts in the north and all of the people who are living in temporary shelters.    And yet, looking outside this morning, life appears to be normal.  The sun is shining, people are riding by on their bikes, and the kindergarten bus shaped like a giant dachshund just drove past . . . to all appearances, life is normal.   ...
