As an engineering major I think that is why they placed me as a math teacher. I leave for TZ sept 21. hopefully I'll see you guys there.</p> I will also be teaching Math in Tanzania.

I think the biggest programs in Tanzania are Health, and Education, so if you shoot for those you'll probably do well.</p> Mari,

Well, I've been searching online for blogs by PCVs in Tanzania, and they are good to read. They've helped me get a little more feel for what to expect. I've been trying to learn some Swahili from books I've checked out at the library, but it's slow going. The vocabulary sounds so different that it doesn't stick in my head. (How do you say derivative in Swahili?)</p> <p>Also, the BBC has some of its news casts done in Swahili, and those are fun to listen to, even if they make no sense to me yet.</p> <p>Oh, do you know if the teaching is done in English?</p> Useful information… Well, I’ve been searching online for blogs by PCVs in Tanzania, and they are good to read.

Oh, do you know if the teaching is done in English?
