 |
|
| I have a landlady (native Shanghai, approx. 60 years old) who is interested in teaching Chinese in Korea, but does not have a university degree. What are her chances of landing a job? |

Umm, legally? To the best of my knowledge, an E-2 visa for teaching chinese/french/etc is the same as for teaching English, except that you need to be a Chinese native speaker and graduated from a Chinese University. So unless she's on another visa (F), legally, No.
Just a comment, isn't the dialect in Shanghai VERY different from Mandarin, which is what you'd want to learn? I believe they speak Shanghainese in Shanghai, which is much closer to Cantonese than to Beijing Mandarin. The written form is the same, but the pronounciation is so different as to be almost a different language. |

| She speaks fluent Mandarin. But the VISA issue would stop her, I see. The best she could do then, is get a 3month tourist VISA and hope she doesn't get caught. Not something i would reccomend to her. |
