Teaching English Abroad

[Martinus]

I'm disappointed with the advice being given in this thread. I mean, you people are actually telling Tim how NOT to get shot or abducted? It's Tim, for chrissakes. Do we really want a new flood of his enthusiastic threads he is sure to start gushing up in some foreign country?

Someone has to fight the Languish tide of cynicism, negativity, and chronic apathy.

I like Tim.

[Grey Fox]

Tim's cool.

[katmai]

Tim's cool.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Tim's cool.

That's how the young'uns speak nowadays Kat. When they say "wicked" they mean "rather good", which is more or less the opposite. So when GF says that Tim is "cool" he means that Tim is "hot"..... OMG!!!, GF must be gay!

Be careful with recruiters. sometimes very shady

"sometimes"? 

I was looking at a corporation that hooks you up with Japanese Universities. Looked good, paid for the flight, paid for housing, etc. Read a little further on and they want you to teach 7 classes a day.

That happens a lot the big reputable "language mills" the most you would do might be 7 (1/2 hr-1hr at most for any class more than like 50 minutes is rare.)
... I often did that. there be 4 that were the same one, likely only 2 or 3 lesson plans a day.

not that hard.

Oh, the most you'd teach hear is 4 or 5 lessons a day tops. How detailed were these lesson plans and how long did it take to put them together?

Tim's cool.

Compared to Martinus?

These places ask you for shitloads of documents and when you try to email with them it's too big and their email system bounces you back.

[Eddie Teach]

Tim's cool.

The cool thing about Tim is that he doesn't care that he's not cool. :tao:

Why is it that some people on this board seem to insist that I'm more interested in one area than the other?  Between the Catalonia and Tibet I'm an equal opportunity fetishist, and outside of that I still have a lot of interests. 

This is a bit delayed, but why do your interests have to be fetishes?

This is a bit delayed, but why do your interests have to be fetishes?

I'm sincerely hoping he's using the word "fetish" loosely, and not saying he can't get it up without thinking of Persia or Tibet.

Given that it's Spellus, it's hard to tell.
