Hi there everyone, an international esl teacher here, unemployed now and ready to help.

I've had chinese and spanish students mostly, I'm half canadian, half irish, some spanish blood too.

Nada, a trabajar duro, que el ingles no es facil.

Thank you

Gracias

Will come around often, hanging around this kind of web cheers me up quite a bit.

Estar sin empleo es un autentico headache, sobre todo si te gusta enseñar.

Did your Chinese students teach you to say "thank you" in Chinese?
I'm Chinese. If you want to know how to say something in Chinese, you can ask me, but believe me, I'm not an expert. I'm pretty good, but my parents are much better. ^^
I corrected the Chinese.

Yes, I could only imagine that. It most be really annoying.
You have my best wishes for you finding a job. Good luck!

Till then, I hope I will receive some of your help. I'm pretty new to Spanish, so corrections are always appreciated.

Hello my partner Plannet Hooper, I have heard that you haven't got work actually, Why do you come to Mexico.? Here there are a lot work in my state most work inside of the companies that are working to Pemex, anyway I bid you welcome.

I believe Planet hopper wants a job as a teacher.

Hi Croalito,

I could teach in Mexico. Right now I am waiting for confirmation from Wuhan in China, where I will move next week if everything goes as planned (who knows). Crisis hitting badly here, so this winter way fewer jobs. This spring I may fly over to the middle east, they pay way better.

However, it would be hard, if not impossible, for me to work under 1500 bucks a month, financial obligations, the rate USD/Euro, etc. I'd feel more comfortable in Mexico than in China, 4 sure, although I know China well and it's fine, too. The point is working, teachers we love our job, I have occassionaly been a translator, a journalist...I can handle int'l biz documents...But throw some teaching in it or I can't be comfortable.

On top of it, I have relatives in MX df, they have had an Spanish ham factory there since the 60s.

Heard state teachers in mx are on strike?
