I'm a Shiite. It's a different story. 
We're like the "mentally handicapped, but happy child" of the Muslim world. |

Hello. I have a question. What is the ESL scene like in Korea in 2016? I have an F6 visa with a Canadian citizenship and I have only taught Arabic for a couple of years after being married to a Korean Muslim woman in Oman. I'm a very laxed Shia Muslim who dislikes dictatorship around the whole Arab world, of Lebanese-Yemeni-Omani stock. Before you want to criticize me: I have a white skin, drink booze and can tolerate non-halal fried chicken. I already speak fluent Korean. I'm willing to get paid as low as 2.1 million per month.
Would there be a chance for me?
What is the general scene of ESL being taught by non-Koreans over the years? And I want to see the general trend happening this year. |
Did I miss something? I didn't see anything about your precise qualification. |

ArabicTeacher you do sound like you have a fascinating back story. Love to hear more. You're currently in Korea teaching Arabic? Are you with a school or it is private arrangements? I do appreciate your consideration for a Plan B, given the falling price of oil and the potential, if not the reality, of America producing all the oil it needs internally.
Met many awesome Muslims during my time in Singapore. The end of Ramadan is a fun time to hang out with your Muslim friends. That's some good eatin'. |

My story in a nutshell, my Yemeni grandfather of my father's side of the family was a womanizer and very un-Islamic for sure. And this spreaded some unfortunate family dynamics later on.
I worked as a survival Arabic language instructor at a construction company and my wife is working there. Now I gave up finding a job and now I mostly take care of my son and some other boys.
My Korean wife wears the pants in the family and I wear the skirt. But seriously, screw pants if you're from the Arabian Peninsula. |

| It's not uncommon in many Asian cultures, the woman is the head of the household. The real power. The man might be the chief bread winner but his income goes into her bank account, she takes care of all the finances and major decisions. As long as the guy has enough pocket money for drinks, cigarettes, and lunch, he's happy. |
