I just want to also do a quick introduction about me, who I am, why I'm here, so that everybody knows what's happening. So, my name is Linda. I do many different things. I always have to say that. And these are like the two main things that I do. So, for one, I have my own website. I'm a travel writer, content creator. I share information on my website. Linda goes east.com. East because I'm living in Korea. I've been living in Asia for almost 10 years. China and Korea. And I'm passionate about Asia. I share information, travel information, but also if you want to go and teach English in Asia, I share tips how to do that as well on my website. And if you're an Instagram, go check out at Linda goes east. Give me a follow and I'll follow you back. Or you can also DM me, send me some messages if you don't want to ask here in front of everybody. That's also cool. I'm originally from Germany slash USA. My mom is German. My dad is American. And I have been based in South Korea for the past seven and a half years. Before that I was in China. I taught English in China. I also am teaching English in Korea. And I am also a Teflon TESOL marketing professional for ITT, which stands for International Teflon and TESOL Training. You can find ITT on the web at TeflonCourse.net. And I know many of you already certified. Many of you are thinking about it. So whatever it is. Thanks for that. Anyways, and ITT is a leading Teflon TESOL course provider worldwide. So we do teacher training, people who want to be English teachers abroad online or maybe in your own home country, whatever it is, Teflon and TESOL. So that's what we offer. And yes, just a quick introduction here. And then I'm going to jump right into the Q&A again. And I'm going to make myself a little bit bigger here again so you can see me. And yes, let's have a chat. Ask me your questions. It's a new year. It's a new beginning. It's the perfect time to get started and to kind of map out where your Teflon TESOL journey will take you this year. So let's have a look. So Shaik had the first question. Shaik, also let me know where are you watching from today? Where are you at? Let me know in the comments. And they have a question. 120 hours Teflon course is enough for a tutoring? I'm guessing this is a question. So is a 120 hour Teflon course enough for a tutoring job? Yes, absolutely. It is also enough for a full-time teaching position abroad. That's usually the 120 hour course is the standard course that people take. That is sort of like the first course that you should take, the first step, the minimum course that you should take for teaching English as a foreign language, the 120 hour course. And I believe I have a slide about it with some more information because that is the most popular course. So I have some info about it on the slides. And let me just go through, if there's something on the slides that kind of looks interesting to you, let me know. And we can talk about it. Like I said, these are just slides, sort of what we get asked a lot. And I think it's coming up now, the 120 hour course. Yes, which Teflon course is right for me? So, yeah. Here we go. So at ITTT we offer between 50 and 550 hours of training. So these are different Teflon courses you can choose from. And as you can see here, it says 100 hours is the minimum. Usually it's 100 hours. Sometimes it's 120. So that's why the 120 hour course from us is the most popular because this is really the course that is the international standard, most teaching programs or employers, they will ask for a minimum of 100 hours. And the 120 hour course covers that. And all of our courses, we have so many different course options also. They really suit all needs. And we also have Teflon specialization courses. And I'm going to talk about that also in a little bit. But what you need to know now is that all of our courses are internationally accredited. And they're accepted worldwide. And yes, so the 120 hour course will be enough for tutoring and also will be enough for a full-time position abroad as well for teaching. So I don't know if I have one more slide specifically about it. Yes, I do. Okay, great. So this is more information about the 120 hour course real quick before I look at the next question. So this course is 100% online. You can take it 100% online, which is so great. Super flexible. That's the course that I also took in 2014 actually a long time ago. But I took this course because I was working full time and it was great because you could finish it completely online. And there were no certain times where you have to be online and participate. You can really study at your own pace and you have up to six months to complete this course, which is really great. There are 20 units to this course kind of split between teaching methodology, teaching things and grammar. Grammar also very important to understand how to teach grammar. And that's why we put great emphasis on that. And at the end you get an embossed hard copy certificate shipped straight to your door wherever you are in the world. And we also have notarization services available. So for some countries for China, for example, or for Vietnam, you might need an extra notary stamp on your certificate. And we can also do that for you. And I know the price is covered. Oh, and now too. Okay. So let's get rid of this. So this is only 249 this course. But don't forget we have 30% off with the link that I shared with you in the comment section. So it will be much cheaper than that. And I always should put the discounted price on there. But if somebody, somebody's good math, maybe you can let me know. But let me just Google real quick. Oh, that's why I'm a language teacher because I can't math. So minus 30%, you will only pay $174.30. This is US dollars. If you use the link that I shared with you, very, very reasonably priced, right? For what you get. So this will be the discounted price with the minus 30% off of this course. Okay. All right. Now I hope that answers your question, Shaik. Let me know if something was not clear, but then I'll get back to you. And then we have a question from Rabia. Hi, Rabia from Bahrain. Cool. She says, I completed my TEFL course last month. I'm not graduated. So it's difficult to get a job in schools here. How can I find a job? Teaching online is also fine by me. Please advise. Yeah. So it's not impossible to find a teaching job. If you don't have a degree, but yes, it will be a little bit harder, right? As you probably have experienced already some difficulties. So are you saying you want to stay in Bahrain and teach there? Or do you want to go abroad? I also think what you were saying, teaching online might be also a good idea for you. And we did a live session in the past about teaching English online. And I don't think I have a slide on here now, but there are actually so many different platforms where you can teach. And I used to have this Google Sheet. And let me find it because I think this is it. This is a really good sheet. I'm going to share with you a Excel sheet or Google Sheet. And it has different online teaching platforms on it. And their requirements. So there are many where it's this degree required. No, no, no, no. So you can apply to all of these that don't require a degree. And then I'm going to show you how you can save this, too, if you don't know. But this is the Google Sheet. And I'd like everybody to open this real quick if you can. And I'm going to also share my screen and show you. Oh my God, I have so many tabs open. Okay. This is it. I hope you can see this right now. Yeah. So this is what the sheet looks like. So open that. And this is for online teaching companies. And basically what you want to do is you want to click here on file and you want to click on make a copy. And then you just, I don't know, name it, you can name it, or you can just do make a copy. And then your copy you can actually edit because right now you only have the view only. Option. So you can't edit anything, but if you go in here file, make a copy. You can actually save this for yourself. And there are how many? 20. 20. Yes. Oh my God. It's named 20. Yeah. And it says 20 non-Chinese because we came up with this list when in 2021 the Chinese government kind of had a crack down ban. On online teaching. And so everybody was looking for alternative platforms, non-Chinese ones that would not be affected by the ban. That's why it's called non-Chinese. So these are popular platforms. You can have a look at and here are all of the requirements. So the hourly rate as well. And then if there's a degree required or not, it's the lessons are provided. So if there's a degree required or not, if the lessons are provided, so if they give you teaching material or not, the age groups of the students, and then if there are any minimum hours per week that you have to teach, some of them have that, but many of them don't. If there's a TEFL qualification requirements, if they accept non-native speakers, so then for example, Rabia. I'm not sure if you are a native speaker or not, but if you're not and you don't have a degree, so you need to look at these two, right? So you need to find one here where it says no and no. So here, Cambly would be possible for you. For example, so you can just navigate this. And like I said, click here on file, make a copy, and then you can save one for yourself. All right. Great. All right. I hope that helped you out. But yeah, I think maybe teaching online first, if this is your first job, so to speak, your first teaching job, you can teach English online first, get experience, and then maybe go somewhere to an actual school, Rabia. Sorry, guys. I have a stuffy nose. I don't know. It's that season. It's winter in Korea, so the air is very dry. So that's why. Sorry, guys. All right. And then we have a question from casein who says, could you please distinguish the level of Teflon T saw? Yeah. Okay. I need to make a slide for this for next time. Thank you so much for reminding me. And I'm going to write that down real quick because that definitely needs to be on my presentation as well. So Teflon levels. Yes. And I'm going to show you on the website right now. Okay. Because we have that listed on the website very, very well. Very well. I can't talk today. Can you do you tell? Okay. Teflon course.net. Okay. You want to go to Teflon course.net. And again, I think I'm going to share my screen real quick. So you guys can see makes the most sense. Yeah. Okay. So this is Teflon course.net. If you've never been on the website before. And you just click on online courses. Here. And it's just going to take a moment. And then we scroll down. And you can see here all of the courses. And here it would say the level. So the 120 hour course is level four. One hundred and seventy hour is level five. Level five, level six, level seven. So level seven is the highest level that we have. And level seven is similar to a bachelor's degree. So that's very high level. This is the highest level that we offer. But like I said, level four is the minimum that you want to have for teaching English abroad. So level four is definitely sufficient. Anything that is over level four might be for someone who wants to pursue this long term, who wants to have a like head teacher position. Or if you want to work for teach at a university or an international school, then you want to aim for higher than level four. Right. So just depends. Level five. This is actually, and I recommended this last time too. This is the, I think my favorite course package out of everything. And this is also what I took before. So 220 hour and this is level five. Because yes, I do say that the 120 hour course is the international standard. But that also means that most people are going to have this one. Right. So if you want to stand out from the crowd, you want to go a little bit higher. All right. And I think the 120 hour course, the master package course is the best one for that. It includes the 120 hour course and the 50 hour in teaching business English and 50 hours in teaching English to young learners. And business English and teaching children, young learners are the two biggest fields in EFL teaching. And so if you have those two on top of your standard 120 hour course, you have level five and you basically stand out among other people who only have 120 hours. And if you've watched, I think two weeks ago we had a live session about what to expect teaching English in 2023 in the new year. So definitely now that most countries are back open again and are hiring like before, many people were kind of holding off with their teaching abroad plans due to COVID. And so this year, everything is almost back to normal and people are going to other countries. So the competition is a lot higher this year. And you definitely want to have something higher than the 120 hour course this year. That would be ideal recommended personally to just kind of stand out and yeah, have better chances basically. So I hope that makes sense. All right, guys, does that make sense? Let me know in the comments also any other questions that you have today, and then we can get back to that. And maybe also not sure if I should go over this, but just yeah, I usually always start with this one because sometimes there is confusion about that. So the difference between Tefal and TESOL, right? A lot of people when you're really new to this, you might be confused. Hey, should I get a Tefal certificate or should I get a TESOL certificate? What's the difference? So this is here what you should know. Basically, they are the same thing and Tefal stands for teaching English as foreign language. TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. Okay, and the only difference really is where you are in the world. So which term you use. So here it says, for example, Tefal is most commonly used within the UK and Europe. So if you're from Europe or if you live in the UK, you would probably just call it Tefal. That's most commonly used. You wouldn't necessarily say TESOL. You would call it Tefal. However, if you're from Australia or the US, Canada, you might be more familiar with the term TESOL and you call it TESOL. But the training that is involved, whether you take a Tefal course or TESOL course is identical. And the certificate you gain is identical. The course content, identical. It's the same. It's the same. So it's just your personal preference, whether you want to call it Tefal or TESOL. And here at ITTT, T-I-T-T-T, yes, you can actually choose whether your certificate says Tefal or TESOL on it. That's up to you. You can choose that whichever term you prefer, basically. So that is that. So guys, let's have a chat. Ask me your questions. I am here for you today. Like I said, every first Friday of a new month, and today is very special because it's the very first Friday of the new year. You guys get to ask me all of your questions. So today is all about the Teflon TESOL Q&A. And you can ask me your questions. We had a good start already with Kacen, Shaik, and Rabia asking lots of questions. So here we go. And Kacen asks, how can you compare T-K-T and Teflon? I think I'm not familiar with T-K-T. What is T-K-T? Oh, T-K-T Cambridge. T-K-T, let's see. Cambridge, T-K-T Cambridge. Oh, teaching knowledge test. Okay. So I believe just from reading this right now that this is a term specifically used by Cambridge, right? And as you can see, I've been working in the Teflon TESOL industry for seven or eight years now. And I'm hearing this for the first time, T-K-T test. So there you go. One of the most commonly used tests or qualifications for teaching English abroad is Teflon TESOL. Of course, there's also SELTA, which is also from Cambridge, right? Or their own brand. SELTA is their own brand. But T-K-T, I have not heard about this. So I'm going to do some research on it. But yeah, it just seems what basically Cambridge calls their own tests. So yeah, as you can see here on the Cambridge website, they have a SELTA, DELTA, and T-K-T. Wondering, is this a new thing? T-K-T. Who is T-K-T for new and experienced teachers recommended for teachers with an English level of B1? So I think teachers who teach primary, secondary or adult learners, teachers who want to prove their teaching knowledge, teachers who need a globally recognized certificate. All right, so this sounds to me like exactly what a Teflon course is. So this looks like, because at Cambridge, they don't call it Teflon TESOL, they call it T-K-T. So it's the same, it looks like. A SELTA and a DELTA are more advanced level, higher level. We also offer these in collaboration with different universities or different institutions if you're interested. And then on their website, it looks like T-K-T is sort of lower than a SELTA and a DELTA, which is basically similar to a Teflon or TESOL, like probably 120-hour course. This looks like what this is. But again, I would say when it comes to teaching English abroad, people are more familiar with the term Teflon or TESOL and not so much with T-K-T. Like I said, I'm also hearing this actually for the first time, T-K-T. I have not heard about this. But it looks like also the course content, it looks like it's the same as a Teflon course. So I would say it's always better to go with something that people are aware of. Yay, okay. So the price of the course, the 120-hour course, which is the total. Yeah, I just calculated that earlier. This is the total, $174.30 minus the 30% off that you can have today. So that will be your total. And what you can do, you can scan this QR code or you can use the link that I shared with you guys. And I'm just going to share the link one more time so you have it. And you can copy, paste the link if you can't scan this QR code. And this will get you 30% off. So here you go. 120-hour course minus 30% off is 100. What did I say? $174.20? Was it that? 30, okay. USD. Here you go. So this will be your total if you decide to get the 120-hour course with today's 30% off link, you will only pay $174.30. If these calculations are correct. So there you go. That's it. I learned something, the TKT. I'm going to check it out, but yeah, from what I can see, this is what it looks like. It is the Cambridge version of a TEFL course. And as you can see, I'm not familiar with TKT. Usually people recognize the names TEFL or TSOL. And SELTA, delta, yeah. I hope that helps. And I know it's crazy when you search for TEFL or TSOL or just teaching English as a foreign language. Course providers and options, it's really hard to choose which course you should take. So I totally get it. Totally get it. It's confusing. There's so many new providers coming out too. So that's why it's kind of hard to keep up with everything, right? So, yeah. Ask me your questions. That's what I'm here for today. And I just want to check and see if I have anything about that that I can show you. And my slides real quick. Let me check. Okay, maybe I want to show you this, this one real quick. So basically this kind of fits in with what we just talked about. So how much does a TEFL course cost for you guys? What we just established, it will cost 174, 30 for the 120 hour course, right? Minus the 30% off link. But what I just want you to take away from, if you take away one thing from today, it is to stay away from free TEFL or diesel courses. I'm sure you've seen like, or the $20 group on courses or free TEFL courses and whatnot. Just be wary of anything that is costing close to nothing or offered for completely free. With these kinds of things, keep in mind that you get what you pay for, right? So cheap and free TEFL courses, they aren't going to get you the desired teaching job abroad. That's just the bottom line. That's how it is. They're most likely not accredited and internationally recognized. They don't have any partnerships with any institutions. They have no accreditation, nothing. And they lack basics basically like job assistance and even a hard copy certificate. So I always like to compare this stuff with budget airlines. Okay, maybe you've flown with like a budget airline before where the ticket is $30. It's super cheap. But then they add on the fuel charge, the booking charge, the discharge, whatever this and this and this charge. And you have to pay for your luggage. You have to pay for your food and water and you have to pay for your boarding pass and you have to pay for all this extra. And then it adds up, right? So this is what these cheap TEFL courses are, right? You have to pay for maybe even getting your material. Then you have to pay for getting your certificate shipped to you. You have to pay for printing out your material. I don't know. You have to pay for getting job assistance. So all of these things it adds up and then it's usually even more expensive than if you just picked a regular TEFL course in the beginning. So, yeah. And again, this is the price with 30% off 4 to 120 hour course today. So, and Kason has another question here. So let me look at that. Kason says, do we need to have C2 level to do TEFL? No, you actually don't. You don't see to. I know very few people who actually have C2. I reckon even maybe if I took the C2 test, I'm not sure about past. So anyway, C2 very rare, very hard to get, right? So we don't really check, you know, what your, you don't have to provide an English proficiency test to us to take the TEFL course. We need fluent English speakers to take the course, right? As long as you can read and understand obviously the units that are provided to you. If you can read the information on the website, then you're good to go. You can take the TEFL course. So fluent English speakers over the age of 18 are eligible to take our courses. We don't care about any nationality, where you're from, nothing. But you need to be a fluent English speaker, but you don't have to have C2. I would say B1 or B2 would also be sufficient. All right, then here we have Cmo, Cmo, Cimo, Hamed. Asking a question, please. I want to ask you concerning an offer of job teaching in South Korea. Do they accept people from Morocco who have the requirements? Okay. So with teaching English in Korea, it is a little bit tricky. So officially to teach English in Korea, you need to qualify for an E2 visa. The E2 visa is the English teacher visa, okay? Korea E2 visa. And I'm going to see if we have a list here, if you have a good graphic for these requirements. But basically, no, there's nothing good here. So the requirements for this visa, you need to be from one of seven English speaking countries. And that is Canada, United States, that is the UK, Ireland, South America, Australia and New Zealand. So one of these seven countries, if you have a passport from one of these seven countries, you are eligible. And there is one other option. If you go through the Epic program of Korea and you are an Indian citizen and you have an Indian teaching license. And you also have all the other requirements you also qualify. So technically, eight countries are accepted for this E2 visa. However, Korea is in 2023 rolling out a digital nomad visa. So if you want to come to Korea and work online, you might qualify for the digital nomad visa. And you can come to Korea and teach English online and live here and work here. So that might be an option. However, not through the traditional way. E2, the E2 teaching visa is going to be probably a problem for you from Morocco. So I'm not really going to work. So you might have to find a loophole or, you know, you might have to go to a different place. So Japan, for example, they have a jet program. And let me pull this up, the teaching program. So you kind of know what I'm talking about here. So these are programs in different countries that hire teachers and then place them in public schools, private schools in their countries. And as you can see here in the middle, in the lower middle, it says jet in Japan. And this is the jet Japanese teaching program. And they also accept people from any nationality. So they are not strict like Korea and some other countries. So maybe Japan might be a good option for you. And these are also all the other programs that there are at the moment out there. So jet in Japan is definitely super popular. And we have Epic in Korea, which is very popular and has been around for a very long time. So I always recommend these programs if you're completely new to teaching. And yeah, it's your first time maybe moving abroad or moving to this specific country. So if you go for a program, you just get a lot of support. They've been recruiting teachers for a very long time. They know what they're doing and they just support you and you have somebody to ask. And they're very long established programs and they're just a good way to go typically. But of course, they're also very competitive. So you have to apply early. So all of these have different deadlines. That's why I provided you with the links here. So if there's a program that you like and there are also more, some more here with NET in Hong Kong, which is also super popular. Tapef in France is popular and then Sight in Italy is a smaller program. TLG in Georgia is I think also really good. It's a newer program as well. But these are programs you can apply to. They all have different requirements, different deadlines, different start dates, etc. And also different benefits and salaries. So check it out wherever you want to go. These are some good options here. And then we have Amitava. Hi Amitava, how are you doing? Amitava says, hello Linda. How are you faring and abiding and chilling cold in the harsh winter season in South Korea? You should be a writer. Amitava, I love it. I'm doing okay. I have some warm coffee here and this is actually already the second coffee of the day for me. So maybe that's why I'm a little, I don't know. A little like this today. But I'm doing very well. Thank you so much. And how are you doing? How are you doing? Let me know. Thanks for tuning in today. I know that some of these Q&A sessions, you know, the first Friday of the month might be a little repetitive for some regular viewers. I know that. So I appreciate you still tuning in because we kind of cover similar information every Q&A session. But every Q&A session is also a little bit different. So they're not all the same. But please tune in again next week when we talk about a specific topic. I'm sure it's going to be very interesting for you Amitava and for anybody else for that matter. So thank you guys. So what else is up? What else is up? I'm sure some of you still have questions. We have been live now for 41 minutes. So keep your questions coming. We can still keep this going for a while.

Let's see. Oh, it takes some time to load now because we're live, I think. Let's see, let's see, let's see. I want to show you one specific post. Basically, oh, I don't know if it's loading now. Oh, come on. Maybe I need to look at pictures, photos. Let's see. It's in the photos section. No, I think it's not cooperating because I'm live. So I think it doesn't load the page at all. But that's no problem. I actually have this. Wait, I know. Let's see if we can figure this out because this is something I really want to show you guys. And I hope you can maybe help us out here. Okay. Here we go. Oh, yes. Oh, and this is also posted on Monday. So I think this will be really good. So let me share my screen with you. And then I just, I'm just going to explain a little bit and maybe I need to zoom in because it's very small right now. Okay. I think this is good. Okay. I'm going to share my screen with you guys and then I want to show you something. Okay. Bear with me, please. Like I always say, I'm doing this all by myself. So I need you guys's patience. Thank you. All right. I hope you can see this post. I'm going to make myself smaller so you can see this. Basically, if you did not know, obviously we are on social media. We are on Instagram in particular. We are as you can see your Facebook, TikTok now as well. So we are calling all ITTT Teflon TESOL course graduates.

That's just something I wanted to share. Yeah. And then guys, let me know what your questions are. We still have time. We're still here. I'm still here to answer your questions. That's why I'm here today. So let me know. Let me know what you want to know about Tefl T sol starting all of this journey in 2023 perhaps. Let me know. I am all yours for your questions. Maybe taking a Tefl course is one of your New Year's resolutions. And I'm sure the 30% off opportunity is a good incentive for you to do so right here. 30% off and we just established that this is the price for the 120 hour course. Right. Let's see the 220 hour course, which is actually my favorite and what I would recommend to get. Because it's more than just a minimum. So you actually stand out. Oh, this is also good. Good price 30% off so the 220 hour course and I'm going to put this in the comments as well too. So 220 hour course minus 30% off is only 244 dollars and 30 cents. So that's also really good price. So yeah, you don't want to miss that either. So whichever course you want to take you get 30% off so I think that's a really good deal. Especially starting this new year. So there you go. All right, Casey has another question. Thank you so much. I have another question. What is the level of book of level of advanced grammar and use from Cambridge? Maybe this is a stupid question. What is the level of book? Advanced. Well, I'm not sure what level of book you mean. This is not a stupid question. This is not a stupid question. Let me see. Let me see. I would say definitely the grammar and use books are really good and recommended to any teacher. Advanced grammar and use Cambridge, Cambridge. Is this a Cambridge book? Oh yeah, this one. Yes. Okay. I see, I see. So, I mean, this one is advanced, right? So how many of these grammar are there, grammar and use books? Are there three beginner intermediate advanced? Of course, then this would be the highest level, right? So I would recommend starting with the first one, working through that, getting the second one, working through that and then getting the advanced one and working through that. Right? But they actually have, oh, here it says, okay. Here it says, blah, blah, blah. This book is the first choice for advanced C1 to C2 learners of English. All right. This is what it says here in the description. So the level for this book would be C1 to C2. So definitely if you want to be an English teacher, especially let's say high school students, that would be recommended. Yeah. So this book is C1 to C2. So both, it covers both C1 and C2. So definitely something you should get. If you want to be an English teacher for particularly high school students. So if you basically, if you want to teach English abroad, but you want to teach like at a kindergarten or elementary school, you probably will not need this level. Right? They're not going to learn that in that age group. But if you aim to teach high school students or university students, you might need to get it and work through that. So yeah. Nice. Also a book I should get. I've been hearing a lot about this book. So, and it looks really nice. I love, I really love grammar. I used to be a grammar obsessed with grammar and all the rules and exceptions. Like I would know everything. I really loved doing. Oh yeah. This book looks really nice. I always loved learning grammar and all the exercises. I was really good at that. Yeah. I should buy this book and work through everything that'd be really cool. I got my grammar back on. But yeah, I actually have something similar to these books in Korean, Korean grammar. So, but I don't really like these books. It's too hard. But anyway, yeah. So again, this book C1 to C2. So it covers C1 and C2 material. All right. We established that. Thank you, Kason for the question. Very good. And yeah, we still have some time. So everybody else who has a question. Let me know. Let me know guys. What questions you have. TEFL TESOL teaching English abroad, teaching English online. Also feel free to always browse our playlist of previous live sessions.

We have them on Facebook. We have it on YouTube and you will find a video that speaks to you. I'm sure. And also next week we have another topic again. Like I said, every first Friday of the month, we do these casual Q&A sessions where you guys just ask me questions and I answer them. But then every regular week we have set topics that we talk about. We also have Q&A at the end of these topics then, but today is just Q&A, right? So that's just usually how it works if you're new. So please join me again next week when we talk about a specific topic. I'm not sure if I picked it yet. I do have a calendar. Let's see if I can already tell you what topic it will be. Sometimes I decide very short notice. Let's see if we already picked that. Oh, yes. I picked it already. Should I tell you? Should I tell you? Maybe I will tell you. It will be about the job market for English teachers, especially in 2023. So the topic will be navigating the job market for English teachers. That's what we're going to talk about next time.

And we just like to bring people together and grow this community. So thank you so much. So whether you're teaching English abroad, you can share hashtag my Tefl adventure.

And then I'm still waiting for you guys's questions. But maybe maybe you're all happy and content and you don't have any questions. That's also good. That's also good. Don't forget we have 30% off, right? I shared the link in the comments. You can find it. It ends with Facebook live minus Linda. And then on the next slide, we'll get you 30% off any Tefl or T-SOL course from ITTT. And we together, we calculated what that means. So for the 120 hour course, this means you will only pay $174.30 with this code. And for my personal favorite, the 220 hour course, you will only pay $244.30. So there you go. What a way to kick off the new year, right? And guys, let me know maybe in the comments, what is a New Year's resolution? Do you have New Year's resolutions? Did you make one? What is like one thing you want to achieve this year? Maybe it's a Tefl course. Maybe it's a T-SOL course. Maybe it is moving abroad to teach. Let me know. For me, I think it is buying the advanced grammar and use book and complete it, work through it. That will be my New Year's resolution. I'm obsessed with this book now. Thanks for bringing it up. I need to get it. So, yeah. Well, if you guys don't have any questions, then we can also just say goodbye and wait for next week when we talk about navigating the job market for English teachers. So this will be next week. And maybe I'll just let you guys create a banner. Next week's topic. Here we go. Next week's topic. Same place, same time. This is what we're going to talk about. So please be here. Oh, here. Thomas has a question. Is Tefl accepted in every country? I'm asking because the Tefl diploma has not been accepted in Hungary. Okay. Which one from ICTT? I can't imagine that. Really? We even have a Tefl center in Budapest in Hungary. And they have the, what is it called? The teaching program CTP in Hungary. They don't accept Tefl. I can't really imagine that. Okay. Interesting. Well, who did you speak to? Who said that was not accepted? It's interesting. ICTT certificates are accepted worldwide. All across the world. So you should not have any problems. So that's very strange. Feel free to email us. And then we can, maybe they need like, maybe they need this notarization stamp. Maybe that's what they need, which we offer. But I don't know. So I have four ICTT certificates and they've always been accepted. Yeah. I'm not sure. So email us courses at tesel-tefl.com with this information and we will help you out in navigating this issue. That is very strange. Sorry to hear that. That should not be happening. But I mean, of course, every employer has the right to accept and not accept what they want. So I don't know. Maybe they want some additional, like, if you don't have a university degree, is that an issue? I'm not sure. Can imagine just them being like, no, this is not accepted. So usually there will be requirements. Again, requirements vary from country to country, employer to employer. But the Tefl diploma does not substitute a university diploma and a high school diploma. So I'm not sure. The Tefl courses, Tefl certificates are an additional qualification. They do not substitute a university degree. They do not substitute an actual teaching license. You sometimes need, especially like in your own country. So Tefl and TESOL is basically primarily for teaching English in different countries. So, yeah. If you can email us and then clarify, and then we will help you out. Okay, Thomas, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any issues? That should not be happening. So, all right. Maybe where you apply it. Let us know where you apply it to. Interesting. All right. And this goes for everybody. Everybody who has, like, any questions about ITTT, which course to take, anything like that, email us courses at tesol-tefl.com and we will be able to help you and, yeah, navigate the issues. So, sure, Thomas. I hope you have a great weekend, Thomas. All right. Then if somebody has one more question, and then maybe we can say goodbye, but yeah, let me know. One more question that's on you guys' minds. Let me know. And then we'll say goodbye to today's session. And like I said, next week's topic is navigating the job market for English teachers. So, please be here. Same place, same time. I will be so excited to see you again next week. And don't forget to like and subscribe. You know, do all that. Don't forget 30% off. If you want to get certified this year, it's a great time to do that. And then, yeah, I'm just going to wait a few more seconds to see the questions coming through. And if not, that's cool. We're just going to say goodbye and wait for next week. Basically. Maybe we'll just do that. You can also always ask, what do you want to ask next week? Like I said, every live session, at the end we have a Q&A and obviously you can ask questions then. And you can also email us at the email address that I provided. Courses at tesol-techful.com. And Amitava says, thanks a lot, Linda, for all of your suggestions and helpful support at all times to come. Goodbye and good luck for the weekend. Thank you so much, Amitava.
