What are the countries that are warm whose teaching season coincides with winter in the midwest?

i think that is pretty clear but ya neva neva know = you never never know.

It's not clear to me at all. I was all ready to answer you until I saw the last 3 words. Then, you completely lost me with what you were asking.

Waitaminute!

Are you from the Midwest region of the USA? That would make more sense. You want to go somewhere to teach only for the cold winter months (Dec to Mar)?

Academic years are generally 9 or 10 months, and the cold winter months are divided between them.

I suppose you could look into summer jobs in South America.

Good luck finding something that short term.

Latin America is an option. You're willing to work 6 months, so some places might take you

Thanks for the replies. I was just curious. Certainly only cold midwest winter months shouldnt be the criteria for a job, but sometimes i feel like those birds that fly south for the winter. But it looks like 6 months (once you put it that way) may be a bit shorter than a typical "CONTRACT"
might be.
