Hi.

New to the forum. I realise the issues of strong English speaking in Scandinavia etc, nevertheless there ARE jobs here for teaching English because I have sen them listed and been in touch with some of the relevant organisations and business schools etc.

Always looking for more tips and more links to facilities however, so any information would be gratefully received.

SAdly I am one of those "lowly" wannbe TEFL teachers with the certification gained in London and no degree, but still I wish to keep the faith and look for something.

I�m a Kiwi by the way.

Thanks.

Also, in looking at the links to the job search pages here I notice all the links are broken or have "fatal errors" coming up. Is there any likelihood of these being fixed as some of the online agencies and things sound quite useful.

Ta.

Btw, if I understood correctly, you don't speak Swedish. But can you READ it?

Well I can read some, yeah. It�s early days though so too soon to say I understand more than the things I can translate through basic knowledge of other languages such as German, Dutch, and decent French, etc.

I posted this on the other page too. It's a quick link to the Employment Office (which is also in the above list)

It's a big advantage knowing German, so you should do fine Cool

Good luck!

ah, i said "basic" German! I can get by, order shnitzel with fries, and a beer. Ask my way to the library, chat up a nice looking fraulein etc.

the AMS site is all well and good but the actual JOBB pages aren�t in bloody English!

dilemma.

thanks for your help so far anyway dude.

i�m staying with family of a friend, in Varberg.

can�t stay here forever though, but haven�t the cash left to set up somewhere without securing a job first. trying to learn the lingo on the sly, but more interested int he free language courses the government supplies for immigrants ... not sure where those are actually held though? or more importantly, how to go about joining one as soon as possible.

it�s all turning to custard.
