If you're on an E-2 visa, whatever you negotiate or get, get cash. Don't have it put in your account as I believe it's technically illegal work if it's outside of your school. There are a few other threads, one just a few months ago, that talked about page rates etc... Sorry, I don't remember anything beyond that.

Butlerian,

I wouldn't call that book project a textbook. It's more like a boondoggle!

I wrote a series of Grammar books for my school. I was paid an hourly rate of 25,000 won per hour. If it is for your school, I would look to get a set deal, or an hourly rate.

Yeah, but I think that's standard practice in Korea!

Opposite of DC.

Alternating Current (AC) flows one way, then the other way, continually reversing direction.

An AC voltage is continually changing between positive (+) and negative (-).

I'll be emailing you soon.
