Hello!, Let me first start this off by saying that I am new to this website and that my main purpose is to obtain advice.

If you want to know some background information on me well.... I am in my junior year of college and I have been taking Korean classes for 3 years while majoring in English(so I plan on getting a bachelor's degree in English).
I've always liked East Asian cultures growing up and learning about Korea's history from ancient times to modern times(both south and north)is what persuaded me to learn the language and culture/mannerism. I am seeking advice because I plan to apply during my senior year(I'm also going to take a TEFL course so don't worry!), yet I am really nervous after reading about the application process, interviews, and increase of rejections. My only personal downsides is that I have no experience in teaching and My English isn't perfect(I make mistakes here and there) even though I am a native speaker, but I only want teach elementary schoolers(1st-2nd year specifically), so I hope that it won't be a problem. My goal is to live there for a couple years(if possible) since I want to experience the culture in person before making a final decision on permanently staying. If things continue to go sour with teaching english in South Korea then I'm honestly out of ideas since you have to be a native citizen for other jobs. China and Japan are my other options so I would appreciate it if you could give your insights on these three countries.

Thank you!~
