rus-tic asked: How do you like teaching? Today I went to a job interview with a friend at a private schools as a recommendation and I met the headmaster and everything and he ended up offering me a summer job as an english teacher. It sounds fun and he's willing to pay me, feed me, and send a driver to pick me up and bring me home every day so I guess why not? but I mean I don't speak chinese so how exactly am I suppose to teach these children when I can't even communicate with them. I just need some advice...

I love teaching.

They have foreign teachers that work in Kindergardens. It works like this… if there is no other way to communicate with someone other than one particular language then you will use that language. Because I can speak Chinese and my students know this they sometimes speak to me in Chinese which defeats the object.

It works the other way too. My Chinese is terrible around my English speaking Chinese colleagues because I know I can just speak my mother tongue but in situations where I have to speak Chinese then I can rabbit on. The same when I am with Frank, his Chinese is much better than mine so I let him do all the talking.

But anyway… your deal sounds great. Get all the correct visas. Read your contract. Have a lovely time. I’m here if you need me. :)
