been in korea just over 4 weeks now.
my boyfriend & were approached by a man in town today asking if we would be interested in doing pronunciation lessons on w.e's - he said he worked at university & had other foreign teachers working there too.
we didn't give him any of our details, but accepted his number.
just wondered how many of you out there do extra work & is it risky?
i've heard horror stories of people being framed by immigration, but am also interested in earning a bit of extra cash.
any advice would be appreciated.

If you're doing privates, then immi wouldn't be "framing" you.

Go with your gut feeling...

If it feels suss, and looks suss then don't do it...

personally i wouldn't do it with somebody I didn't know or had some background too....

cheers, i've had a read through some other posts (probably should have done that before posting!) and i think i'll avoid it. the risk is too great & spare time is indeed precious.
think the money tempted me cos i've had a tight first month, payday can't come quick enough.
