The Daegu English Village (DGEV, DEV) is a royal scam. If you are ever asked to work there, decline the offer and laugh your way into something else. The school is a Yeungjin College creation, with the "help" of UCCS - Colorado Springs. Fair warning to Korea: do not be duped!

rickmoranis,

I was glad to hear your honest comment - as about two months or so ago UCC was calling and emailing trying to get me to go there. I had several other offers, and they were so dragging their feet about getting anything solidified. They were leaving it up to Yeungjin which was making or sorts of outlandish paperwork requests beyond the normal outlandish. They said it would take about two or so months to deal with visa application. HaHa!

I figure the whole thing was full of it and not worth wasting one's time. I would love to hear more of your experience.

I teach in a hagwon in Daegu and have met people who taught at the english camp and who had no complaints...

please expand on your rant with some factual information we can agree with....

Ok Rick, so you've informed everyone that the camp is a scam. BUT we don't know you from a bar of soap, so you need to provide some details. What are those details, without more info, it is you who are the scammer.
Details please.

fair enough. I should elaborate. I've worked at this place for eight months, which is my fault in the first place. It's amazing what people do for money. We have had our contract violated multiple times, had more than a month vacation taken away, and i dont want to talk about it anymore. it is no good.
