@mammalmoose No, you don't HAVE TO, but it sure is helpful. I would say it would be a really good idea to get at least an elementary level in the language of the country you're interested in travelling to and "living in". After 35 years of living and teaching in Spain, I have an advanced level in Spanish and I know what problems the students are going to have with English before they do. It really helpfs. On the downside, I have to study my own language to avoid second language (L2) interference
i am from the US and seriously thinking about going to prague to take a 4 week course to teach english somewhere. you kept saying "high turnover" what do you mean exactly that it has a high turnover? you mean people are not making it there? or do you mean people are getting fired? quitting alot? also how much money will i need to get started? and are there many schools in europe for me to find a job once i get certified?
@uzavas By "high turnover" I mean that people are not making ends meet very easily here. It's seasonal work, so you usually only work about 8-9 months a year at any one place. Then, you have a choice, find summer work and return in the fall, or not. People tend to get fed up with the conditions and move on with their lives to something more "stable". I can't possibly know how much you'll need. I'd say a minimum of 5,000-10,000 euros, just in case the summer work doesn't pan out. Yes to the cert.
@MadridTeacher wouldnt it be hard to find another job (even part-time) if you are not a citizen of that country? and is the teaching wage decent for living expenses, paying rent buying clothes or household items etc? is there job openings in northern europe like lithuania or lativa or estonia? and thanks for your previous response
also how can you teach someone english if you dont know there language?
@uzavas I'm sure it would be hard to get started, especially not having a work permit. By the way, I don't know anything about Prague or Eastern Europe. I live in Madrid. Every year thousands of students go to England and study English. As a teacher, you could conceivably have 20 different nationalities in one class. Yet we can teach them. It's easier to teach if you can simply translate difficult concepts, but teaching a class of students of the same nationality has got its own disadvantages.
@uzavas You need to have enough money to survive for five or six years. Most of the trainers burn out quickly, they just cannot make ends meet and the employers do not look out for the workers at all. We are expendable. There is no full time, salaried work and you can only earn about half the year, at best. I have many vids up on my two YouTube channels and on Dailymotion you might like, it's very frank.
Actually, I was born in England before 1983 making me English (post 1983 births aren't automatically British).Being English makes me European which gives me a residence card pretty easily as compared to being from the U.S.A.
