Bach of IT, IT industry collapsed in Australia so i never managed to get a real job, so i did a TEFL course online and now i'm escaping this failing economy to become the whore of the orient
pirate rosetta stone + try duolingo
I've never understood how people can get a job teaching english without knowing the host language
How the fuck could that possibly work
>>60936689
have any plans to transition from teaching to IT in korea? are you even allowed to do that?
>>60936689
you teaching in a regular 2+2 is 4 shithole or you teaching business professionals?
iunno, sounds like you can honestly even get hired by companies and paid more if you teach the IT sector or whatever sector practical english.

Does he go around the classroom and turn the pages for the students

Mate of mine used duolingo for like 2 years and is now fluent in Italian, so can confirm this works

If you can endure long lasting stares, xenophobia and insularity of Korean people, you will have no problems. They will praise you if you know any korean. But you can be isolated if you want by hanging out with other teachers/expats only
