Episode 2: Why Bring Interns?

### Show Notes: In this episode, Sky, Evan, and Susanna discuss WAYK Summer Language Intensives, how they've grown and changed, and what sort of tools are in place to help facilitate a healthy and productive immersion environment, and what the purpose of the summer is—it’s not immersion in the target language, but it is immersion in revitalization. The question of the week is, "Why does WAYK bring interns from outside of a community"? They discuss the merits of collaboration, safety nets, bringing non-Indigenous interns, questions of who can learn the language, and how often it's easier to do other people's dishes than your own. The Technique of the week is TQ: Go There First. We talk about what it means to "Overdo It" with out being annoying, and how there's a fine line between entertainment and education.
