Staff SpotlightSebastian Zaech, German Program Intern Teacher My name is Sebastian Zaech and I am 23 years old. I come from Eitensheim, Bavaria. Eitensheim is quite a small village where only 3000 people live at so it is exactly the opposite of Denver. It is about 50 miles north of Munich, Germany. It’s the first time I visit the US so I only know Denver, Colorado so far. However, I can tell that I really like the city and especially its close location to the Rocky Mountains. I have interupted my studies in Germany in order to do an internship at CoIS. In Germany, I have already studied for six semesters to become an English and History High School Teacher and there are still three semesters to go. I want to use my internship at CoIS to learn as much as possible about people, culture and language in the US. What I like most about this school is the concept of immersion. The contact to many different people and their cultural backround helps learning about differences and appreciating them. In consequence, I am looking forward to sharing my own language and culture in the German lessons with the students at CoIS and everyone else interested. My hobbies are going out with friends and doing sports, especially soccer. However, I am looking forward to trying all kinds of sports, especially typical US sports like football, baseball or lacrosse. |
