Hi!

I recently backpacked through Argentina, and am heading back to Mendoza at the end of July. I was hoping to get some info regarding teaching work, and general information about living there...
I have my TEFL, have worked in schools (in Oz) with kids on a volunteer basis, but no formal english teaching experience...

When is the hiring season? any recommendations to language schools (I believe only InterCultural have a website), cost of living, hourly wage, best place to learn Spanish etc ...
My general understanding from a few PM replies is that once you arrive, just approach the schools, but any more info or ideas in general, would be greatly appreciated! Very Happy
Also, if I am unable to find work teaching, any thoughts on other types of work one can get, hostels/bars?

Cheers!

PM alex42, i think he's the only person who uses this board to have actually worked there for a reasonable amount of time. he's got a blog here as well http://www.thealexlife.blogspot.com/ , lots of rude words, but i think he's from the North, a land of freezing wind and rain so after that hardship i think we can let him off. and the monopoly post is really quite entertaining.

Thanks for that! I have PM'd alex42, and yes, he was very helpful. Just thought i'd see if anyone else had thoughts..
Oh, and did also check out his blog, had a great laugh! Laughing esp the monopoly post, and the **ahem** interview with his lovely neighbour..

Thank ya�ll for the kind comments!

Sorry about all the rude words on my blog. I�m not a sweary sort of person, but sometimes I do anyway when no other words seem to fit the bill (and for comedic effect). Very Happy

I�m actually from Leicester, but before Argentina I lived in Sheffield, where it�s grim and people race whippets, where flat caps and keep coal in�t bath. It�s much better than Leicester though, so I tell everyone here that I�m from Sheffield.

I�m always happy to supply information on Mendoza. Including that you should go to Cafe Levoni on Col�n (opposite Norte) on Wednesday nights at 9.30pm, to meet other natives and english-speaking Argentines, and to drink beer. Nice.

I'm probably going to Mendoza. I'm in Santiago right now but I want to start applying to schools in Mendoza. Alex pm me if you get this message. Otherwise I'll pm you when I get more posts.
