Learning the Language of American Culture
By Chikako Murakami
I arrived in the United States last April as a foreigner from Japan with the hope of improving my understanding of the English language and daily American life. What has surprised me during my three month stay in New Hampshire is how easy it has been to feel a part of this community and how naturally I have been accepted.
CHI's programs offer participants experience at a U.S. business or non-profit operation while enhancing their English speaking skills. Based on my interest in television marketing, I was placed with Manchester Community Access Media, MCAM, one of the largest public access television stations in New England, and reside with a local host family in Manchester NH .

MCAM is a non-profit organization that assists people in making their own television programs. Its work environment is very dynamic and diverse and people from all walks of life with various interests and talents come to MCAM to learn television production and produce programs. Their marketing efforts are primarily focused on increasing awareness of the channel, fundraising through promotional underwriting and by offering production services to local businesses.

By nature, the U.S. is a multicultural nation and it has been very easy to feel a part of the society here. At MCAM, I have met lots of people from various nationalities. This experience has broadened my awareness of individual and cultural differences. New ideas are always being proposed, discussed and implemented here. I have especially appreciated being included in event meetings and invited to share my opinions. I have felt welcomed and accepted here, and have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity.
Living in a foreign land, I've also discovered a few things about myself. I have been surprised with my initiative in carrying out the projects that I've been assigned. I have developed a more rounded view of American culture and have improved my negotiation skills. This trip has shown me that taking risks and trusting others is worth the challenge and the professional growth that results. When I return to Japan I will continue to look for challenge with a lot more confidence than I had when I had left and began this internship.
On a lighter note, visits to New Hampshire shopping outlets have improved my bargain hunting skills and playing their affordable golf courses has lowered my handicap. Oh yes, I admit, it hasn't been all work. But that's another story for another time.
