Hi,

In the coming string/summer I will finish my vocational school. So I'm considering about going in a foreign country for about 1 year.

But I'm not sure what I could do there. The most important thing for me is to learn the language and the culture. Buy I should earn some money there, too (for living there this time). The typical and only easy jobs I know are Au-pair and waiter.

Do you have some more ideas and hints for me, what I could do in a foreign country to earn some money and to learn the language?

And do you have experiences with living in another country for such a long time? Unfortunately I have no one
And where could a student live cheaply?

PS: I had the idea to go to an English language school, but it costs, too. So it would be necessary to earn money...

Best regards,
LeBron

Hi LeBron,

Regulations vary for different countries. For example, in Canada you may be able to get a special work visa if you are from certain countries. You can fin dthe list at www.cic.gc.ca

If you are not, you need to have a job offer from an employer and then apply to the government for a work permit.

Good luck,

Corey
