I will write this in English as I am a beginner...

Hi, my name is Rhys. I am 26, just started learning Spanish and I am catching a one way flight over to Spain in may with some money and some training lined up, hoping to get a job teaching English.

I would like to be fluent in Spanish (to some degree at least) within a few years.

I have a private tutor for an hour a week and practice every day online using various sites. I am also setting up talking in Spanish via skype in a language exchange and have a 2 week intensive Spanish course booked for when i arrive in Spain.

Hope to use this forum to ask questions generally when I cannot ask my language teacher.

Thanks!

English teaching is about the only growth area in the Spanish economy at the moment, so you will probably be able to find enough work to support yourself. The problem with teaching English is that it means spending most of your time speaking and writing English, which makes it hard to learn Spanish. It's not impossible, but expect it to take longer than you hope.

I thought this would be the case, I am committed to overcoming the issue though Thanks for the info

Hola! Encantado de conocerte!

So you want to get a job in Spain, that's great... oh and by the way... what is a "job"? I heard that word many years ago... let me think... oh I've got it! A "job" was something people used to do in order to earn money and pay their bills!

Thanks to our wise, competent and high qualified politicians, this word is almost extinct in Spain. May be you could find one or two of these legendary things ("jobs") across the country, but belive me, It won't be easy...

Good luck!
