I want to get a TEFL and teach at community colleges part-time here in the US. I would like to obtain a certificate in Russia because it appears cheaper. I also want to travel to Russia to continue my study of the language. I can only take a limited time off from work. Is it possible to simultaneous do both?

Hi Leslie,
you can use a hula hoop! I'm impressed I can't!

Sounds like you have some great plans. If you're considering doing the full-time CELTA course at International House or something like that, I don't think you'll have much time and energy for studying Russian alongside to be honest. Perhaps you could home-stay with a Russian family and get some speaking practice in with them?

Have you come across this place before?

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Late reply..
Developing my hula-hooping skills are part of my great plans.

I have read some of the forums posting since I made this orginal posting....I think you are right that I cannot do both.
