Korean Job Discussion Forums

Hey,

I am new to the forum. I have no information for you...sorry. I would like to know what your experience has been like though. Did you go to korea for a teaching job without a certification?

My plan was to go to Korea to teach and bank some money because I can't afford a cert at the moment. And after a year contract go and take a proper 120+ hour course in another country that I want to live in for a while. I wasn't sure if that's realistic.

Is that kind of what you're doing?

I know that its possible to get a job before going over, and that's what I would do. But my two pretty serious concerns are: I don't know the first thing about teaching English to foreign speakers and I certainly do not know any Korean. Seems like two enormous hurdles, but aren't a lot of people in this position? I would take a serious swing at learning both on my own, but real reality and realness and so on...

thanks. this is open for anyone to respond of course.

Wrong Forum but if you can breathe and talk you can teach English here. No Korean needed but it sure would help. For instance I have been here 2 month and still cant use my washer properly. At least I dont think I can.
