Has anyone worked for this school? It is supposed to be near the Balsan subway station. The hours seem rather long 9:30a. - 6:30p. I haven't seen the contract yet.

There are probably 30,000 'language institutes' in Korea. How about a name?

That is the name "Language Institute" Perhaps the recruiter is yanking my chain. I am quite frustrated with her.

You an OSU grad? If not you are from the MAC. Dig a little deeper, keep working at the 'bucks till you can find a place you are comfortable with. Public school jobs will give you a $300 settling in payment, that should help you. If you are really in need of money, get a credit card and just be sure to pay it off before the interest kicks in and cancel that baby asap. Cancel it again a month later, rinse and repeat until you know it is gone for good.

Go Browns.

Have them go outside their school and take a picture of the building where their school name can be read easily. If it's in Korean, we can translate for you.

I'm sorta like a black sheep in my family because none of my degrees came from The Ohio State University, but I was born at OSU hospital and was transfused with that scarlet and grey blood type upon arrival. I will miss football Saturdays and perhaps for my last meal in Columbus, I will indulge in some white trash people watching and that amazing butter dipped sweet corn at the Ohio State Fair.

I do have a BA in Psychology from Otterbein, an MSA in Human Resources from Central Michigan (you guessed the MAC thing right) and an AAS from Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science...and yes, I did like being a mortician for a bit. The blood and guts part wasn't that bad and I liked helping the families. It's good to feel needed and appreciated.

"Language Institute" is quite a creative name for an English academy. I suppose "THE Language Institute" would be better: We're THE one and only language institute you should send your kids.

I prefer "Toss English." Hey kids! Who gives a toss about English? You do, you tosser! Did ya ever toss salad, mommie? Well do it and you get half off tuition!

It's near a subway station and a bus stop. There's a fruit stand, some Korean restaurants, bars, and a 1,000 won store. Oh, there's also a convenience store, a coffee house, and store that sells cell phones.
Have you seen it?
