Im sorry, but why would someone with a speech impediment teach a language? (lady in the beginning)

@TDP788

Actually it's an older video and the sound is poor and makes her sound like she has a lisp, but she does not!

I'm very shy. I'm not handsome. I don't have a BA. I don't have any CELTA or TEFL certs at the moment. But I would like to teach abroad. It really interests me. Do I have any hope? I can get a certification by taking a course. That is probably the easiest requirement I can fill now.

Hello Dalmain77,

Where would you like to teach? While many places do require a Bachelor's degree, not all do. We offer the IDELT certification course in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. If you take the course in the country you want to teach in, you will find it much easier to find work there. Once you've completed the IDELT, we provide job placement assistance.

Please contact us for more information!

Thanks, BridgeTEFL

I would like to teach in Asia if possible. Somewhere non-western for a change. I also have some family that lives in that region of the world, so I can visit them much easier. But I'm not terribly picky. Thank you for your reply.

I would recommend Cambodia. They do not require a Bachelor's degree and you can live quite comfortably there. We offer a course there once a month. Take a look at our website for details!

Kind regards,

BridgeTEFL

Very interesting!!! We can all learn a lot from other teachers´experiences!!

I'm just about to start my CELTA in a couple of weeks. These are such fun and great ideas for teaching. :) Especially the Password game - I always used to watch that old show that was on TV, I didn't even think about incorporating it into the classroom. Of course, it's the perfect way of getting people thinking about words and descriptions. :)

I will be completeing my bachelor's degree in 2 years and I will have about $40,000 in debt. What country would allow me to save the most, and what degree should I get? BA or BS, and what are good majors for TEFL?

TEFL is a fantastic way to see the world on a budget, and games are a great classroom resource. For full training in this and other approaches, try

Wowza that class is super enthusiastic

Learning a language is hard to remember. When I learned french I suddenly forgot it because u stopped speaking it.

[gulimochka]

@IfritAxel You know, I have a similar problem, English is my L2 as well. I'm very shy about my accent and language schools favour native speakers. I think the only place you can teach English is my home country. But I would love to teach in other countries
