Hi there,

I was in Rosario over the summer as my girlfriend lives there. We have now moved to BA but to sum up Rosario...there are a million inhabitants of the city and I think I was pretty much the only native English speaker there and most of them want to learn English....there is a plethora of opportunity there for teaching...I was offered a whole number of jobs...go for it!!!

Hi! Oli

I'm doing a TEFL course in April in Buenos Aires but I was thinking of working in Rosario or maybe Mendoza. I've heard nice things about Rosario so I'm glad to know there are jobs out there. A million inhabitants and now that you're back in Buenos Aires, I can be the 2nd native English teacher for 1 million inhabitants wanting to learn English. I think I can manage some hours with that! Did you do a TEFL course, how did you get those job interviews? Through your own, a school, classified ads, internet??? Did they offer reasonable wages?


regards,

Maria Rosa

I just got a PM from someone in Rosario asking for an Native English Teacher in Rosario. They pay is US$100 - 300 per 15 classes. But to rent out their apartment its like $400. I am not going to reply but PM me if you want to know the email to reply.

I have an apartment in Rosario and I love it here. BA is far too expensive for my tastes. As far as work goes some one posted a job back in Nov. for teaching English in Rosario (on the "Job Board"). I do not recall the pay but I know they where looking for a native English speaker to start in March! I haven't looked into teaching English here, but good luck.

cheers stevie...could you tell me whats the going rate for a one or two bedroom apartment in rosario...is there a big difference compared to BA. I lived in Rosario for a year about 6 years ago as a student (awsome place) but that was with a host family and when the peso was tied to the dollar. How has things changed sice then, price wise.

Are you looking to rent or buy. I don't know much about prices as far as renting goes. I looked at one apartment,740 Pesos a month four room (two bedroom, foyer, patio, one bath) near the main bus terminal. It was nice, but big for me by myself.

I decided to buy one. You can find apartments in good areas, downtown, for 25,000 USD - 80,000 USD. A nice one bedroom apartment is around 25,000 USD. If you want swanky you can spend more than 80,000 easy. If you want to go cheap you can find small houses for 16-20,000 USD. To buy looking in the paper is a good way to go if your Spanish is good enough. Just like buying anything don't take asking price!!

I hope this helps a little, If you have more specific questions I can try to find out.

I'm looking into Argentina, heard Rosario is not bad, I'm TEFL certified, I have some teaching experience and I speak reasonable Castellano. Did you get those jobs on your own? Friends? Did you do a course and if so did your school help you find these jobs?

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Im actually in Rosario right now and Id say far from being not bad, its really good! Its a pretty city and has a great waterfront, nice people, alot of students, and still not that far from BA in case you want to make a trip up to the Big City for a concert or something. Ive only been here a few days but now I kind of wish Id lived here for two months instead of Cordoba...while Id say they both have a similar vibe, for me, being able to sail, kayak and just enjoy the river gives Rosario the edge. Also, there really arent alot of foreigners here at all - as far as I can tell (no menus in English) - so the extranjero factor probably has alot more leverage here than in say, Buenos Aires or Bariloche...So if you find BA not to your liking, check this place out before you pack up and go home.[/quote]

Hey Hey,

Don't let the secret out!

Just joking, I really like Rosario. I don't know any ex-pats here and I have lived here since November.

hey, I'm looking to go to Rosario around July/August though I know that the peak hiring season is Feb/March. From what I've read there is a lot of opportunities to teach there. Can anyone tell me what my chances are if I go around July?

Any other information would be helpful such as how much money should I bring in order to live (the cheapest way - hostels), and where would I start looking for Language schools once I get there. I can hardly find anything on the internet.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I don�t think there are alot of hostels in Rosario, but between the few I can definitely recommend the Pichincha hostel http://www.pichinchahostel.com.ar/. It should be a good place to base yourself after your arrival in the city - the staff is really friendly (and helpful), and I know they have discounts for long-term stays. Also it�s a fairly intimate environment and there�s a full kitchen, etc., so you should be able to live, relatively, �at home.� The location is nice too - not right downtown but near alot of the nightlife and cultural spots. There�s actually an guy from the BsAs province who has been living there for 4 or 5 months now, I believe...so something�s gotta be working.

Good luck - Rosario is a great city, completely underrated in my opinion...Though perhaps the more accurate description is completely �unknown.�

hey, thanks a lot for the website. I will definately keep that in mind. In the meantime I'm going to keep looking for jobs before I actually go.

Take care.
