Hey I was wondering if anyone had any experience in this?
I am Korean, but I am not fluent, I understand a bunch, I can read some, but I have problems reproducing it. This is going to be a problem I understand, but I would like to continue my education as I am teaching. Are there joint programs that work with this?
THanks |

There are some programs where you learn for free or a reduced rate and in exchange teach classes or a camp. These seem to be pretty exploitational, but I've never participated in one, myself.
I once interviewed at a university I wanted to study and teach at. I was not offered the job, and the interviewer explained that it would be confusing for my fellow classmates/students to see me in two different roles. I think she meant they would find it hard to assign me status in their Confuscian mindset. Mind you -- I was applying for a job teaching CHILDREN! But they could not grasp the idea of my having both student and instructor status. Your results may vary depending on the political environment of the school. |

Personally I think your English is great! Keep up whatever good work you are doing now. |

I know  I was debating whether to put in a smiley face, and with forums I guess I should have. It's too easy to mistake things without physical cues. Sorry. |
