Thank you so much for joining. I appreciate that. I hope I can see all the questions come in it. And I think I can. All right, great. That's what we're going to do today. And let's see. Before we jump in, I have a quick introduction, just who I am real quick. So my name is Linda. I'm a travel writer, content creator, and also language teacher. And my personal website is at lindaghosteast or my handle. And then the website is lindaghosteast.com. So if you're interested in teaching English in Korea, in China, in Asia in particular, I highly recommend checking that out. I've been living in Asia pretty much since 2012. And I started out in China, teaching English in China. And I've been in Korea now for eight years, also teaching here and doing many other things. So that's about me. I'm originally from Germany and the US. And yeah, like I said, I'm based in South Korea. And also I'm here for obviously ITTT. As a Tefl and TESOL marketing professional, you might have seen my videos on our YouTube channel before. And so that's me. And if you didn't know, ITTT stands for International Tefl and TESOL Training. And our website is teflcourse.net. And I know many of you guys are watching right now have already completed our courses. So that's really, really awesome and great. Thank you. Thank you so much. And thank you so much for joining. And yeah, ITTT is a leading Tefl and TESOL course provider worldwide. So we have a wide variety of different courses, Tefl courses, TESOL courses, online courses, in-class courses. So a lot of variety all worldwide. And that's enough about me. Let's jump right in. We also have a 30% off discount code that you can use. You can see that on screen on Facebook and on YouTube right now. So you can scan this QR code I'm also going to share that with you guys on Instagram in just a second. And then I'm also going to share the link with you guys. So 30% off any Tefl or TESOL course, if I can find the right link. One second. Where is it? So 30% off any Tefl or TESOL course from ITTT today. Valid. Okay, here we go. This link ends with fblive minus Linda. So you know it's the correct one. You can scan this QR code as well. And I'm also going to show you guys on Instagram, I guess the QR code. And I didn't know you can actually add, you can share a photo or video with your followers. See, I did not know that. My bad. So I'm just going to show you guys the QR code real quick. So you can take a screenshot, you people on Instagram. I'm just going to go like this. I hope that will work. So this is the QR code. You can take a screenshot real quick and you can get 30% off. I need to prepare this better for next time. You can also just send me a DM guys over on Instagram. Send me a DM if you want the code. And then, oh no, how can I set it back up now? Okay, here we go. You can just send me a DM if you want the 30% off code on Instagram as well. And then I'll get that for you. Just send me a DM at LindaGhostEast. Send me a DM and then I'll send you that link as well. But that's what we're going to do today. There's just an impromptu decision today to go also live on ITTT's Instagram and I don't do that that often. So that's why I didn't know we can share actual images on here. That's interesting. I never did that before. All right. Well, anyway, next time I'm going to prepare better for that. All right, guys. So like I said, today is a Q&A. So that means basically you guys can ask me your questions about TEFL, TESOL, ITTT, Teaching Abroad, all of that good stuff. So I'm just going to kind of hand it over to you guys and let you ask the questions. Again, we are live on Facebook, on YouTube, and also here on Instagram. So I hope I'm not going to get overwhelmed here. But hi, guys. Hi. Thank you so much. All right. Very cool. Also, guys, let me know in the comments where are you watching from right now? Where are you at? I always do that in the beginning of my live session. So where are you at right now? I know we have Khaled here from Egypt and with Alexandra. Where are you from, Alexandra? Amitava is here. And then, yeah, everybody else has been quiet. But how about you guys here on Instagram? Where are you watching from today? Let me know in the comments. Where are you tuning in from? And then also your questions. And I hope I can see everything. I might have to do it up. Oh, Los Angeles, Queens, New York. Cool, cool, cool. Okay. You know what? I think I have to maybe put it over here so I can see everything. Miami, Venezuela. Oh, nice. Hi. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Okay. Over here, we have a question about Celta. Okay. Let me answer this question. About Celta. And then you guys on Instagram, you can also ask me questions. So prepare for some questions. So somebody's asking here, do you have Celta? Is that the same thing as Teflon T-Sol? So Celta is basically a brand of Teflon T-Sol. They are their own brand. And only they can issue the Celta courses through that brand, basically. But on our website, we have a Celta partner, I believe. Yeah, Celta Teflon. Hold on. But actually, wait. So Celta is kind of their own brand. It is a type of Teflon T-Sol course, but their own sort of brand name. So, yeah. We used to partner with a Celta as well. But I think not anymore. I can't see that anymore. But yeah. So both certifications are for teaching English abroad. A Teflon and a T-Sol, they're basically the same thing. And also, again, a Celta is basically a type of Teflon course, if that makes any sense. So they're all for teaching English abroad. All courses are for teaching English abroad are recognized and accredited. So it really depends on what you want to do. A Teflon and a T-Sol course are totally sufficient for teaching English abroad. I really do want to say that I have taken a Teflon and a T-Sol course and I've taught English in China, in Korea. I've been living in Asia for over 10 years. So a Teflon and a T-Sol course. And I also took the course from ITTT, totally sufficient. So I hope that answers that question. Then let's see. How can we take the course? Great question. So you just go over to teflon.net and you can see all the course options. So the standard course that we offer is the 120-hour Teflon T-Sol course. That one is the international standard, accepted internationally and accredited. And that's the one that you want to use for teaching English abroad. And then you have a couple of different other options as well. So for example, you can take specialized courses on top. So for example, that would be in teaching English to young learners, teaching business English and also teaching English online. They are specialized additional courses that can boost your resume because like I just said, the 120-hour course is kind of the standard course. So a lot of people will have that. And if you apply in a very competitive place, you want to stand out so you can get these additional courses to boost your resume. Yes, this course is online, 100% online. So you can take it and you have six months to complete this course at your own pace. You don't have to be online at certain times of the day or anything like that. You can just take it whenever you feel like it, whenever you have time and whenever you want to study at your own pace. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Great, great question. Okay, here's a question, I think. Okay, cool. Here on YouTube, we have a question. So let me get back to this real quick and then I'm going to look at your question over here. Thank you so much. Busy today. All right, Khaled is asking, can we use the Tefl in English only or we can use it for any subject? Okay, so interesting question. Actually, a Tefl or a T-Sol course. So Tefl, I have a slide here on desktop. So let me just show you guys that slide. On Instagram, you can't see the slide unfortunately, but I'm going to talk about it. So here, as you can see, for example, Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language and T-Sol stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. Okay, so they are for teaching English to people who don't speak English normally. So yes, if you take a Tefl or a T-Sol course, you will work as an English teacher most of the time. However, it depends on the kind of school that you work for. So some schools, for example, where I taught in Korea was an English-speaking kindergarten. So I also taught other subjects. I would teach like math in English or art in English. It was like arts and crafts or one was like more science. So it depends on the school. You might not only teach English-English, you might also teach other subjects in English. It depends on the school that you work for. So if that's something that you're interested in, if you don't want to teach only English, grammar and stuff like that, but also other subjects in English, you need to ask that school during your interviews part of the interview stage what their curriculum is like and what you're expected to teach, but also most often in a job description, you will already be able to see that also at the time. What type of teacher they are hiring? Are they hiring only an English teacher or will you also teach other things? So they will kind of say that in the job description. I hope that makes sense. All right, that over here we had a question on Instagram from Rosa Sofia 27. Can I pull this up? Yeah, so the question is, can ITTT help me find a job in Latin America? For example, Chile, great question. Thank you so much. So yes, all ITTT course graduates have lifetime job support, access to lifetime job support. So what that means is once you graduate from your TEFL TESOL course, we will help you find a job in the destination of your choice where you want to go. Now, however, this doesn't mean it is 100% guaranteed. Okay, so with these kinds of things with TEFL jobs, it really also depends on your, a lot of other factors. So also a lot of on your background, where you're from, what nationality you are, you're kind of, do you have experience, do you not have experience? Are you a native English teacher? Are you not a native English speaker? Non-native English speaker, all those things, because some countries, like for example, I live in Korea, if you want to be an English teacher in Korea, you need to be from one of seven countries only. So America, Canada, those are all English speaking countries, only seven of these, and then you can go to Korea and teach. So if somebody's not from one of those seven countries, we are completely transparent and honest and let them know, hey, I know you wanted to teach English in Korea, but unfortunately the local regulations, it's not going to happen for you unfortunately, but we then present an alternative and help you find a second option, a third option, so these kinds of things. But if you already know for Chile, and especially Latin America, their requirements are typically not that strict, they don't have that many requirements. So you would definitely be able to find a job in Latin America, Chile. I don't see any problem with that. And yes, ITTT can definitely help you do that once you graduate from your TEFL course. All right. Excellent. Thank you so much for that question, Rosa. Sofia, I hope that answers it. Let me know if you have any additional questions here. And Alexandra, I also see your question here. Let me get back to you in just a second because we also have a question here. So, San Limon is asking on YouTube. Hi. Hold on one second. Okay. Here we go. Hi. I am from Canada, permanent resident, looking to take the TESOL program, don't have teaching experience, looking to teach English as a full-time, like Korea, Dubai, or any other place. Great. Absolutely. So a TESOL program like ITTTs can certainly help you achieve that. So like I just said with Korea, they accept only people from seven specific countries, which includes Canada. So if you have a passport from Canada, you'll be fine. But if you don't have a passport from Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, or the UK, you will not qualify for teaching English in Korea, unfortunately. Dubai also, they prefer native English speakers, but since you are a permanent Canada resident, that should probably be okay. But yes, we would love to speak with you more. So you can always, guys, you can always email us courses. Let me pull up that email address. I don't want to say anything wrong. Courses at TESOL-TEFL.com. If you have any questions, always email us. Our team will get back to you because again with TEFL and TESOL and teaching English abroad, it really depends on, there's not just one answer, right? There's not just one answer for everybody, one size fits all, but really it also depends a lot on your background, where you're from, are you a native English speaker, non-native English speaker, all these things. So we really want to speak with everybody individually so we can let you know exactly what is possible in your case and what's not possible. So email us at courses at TESOL-TEFL.com and then my team, my consultants, our course consultants, they can get back to you guys and really give you exact details for your specific cases. But great question. Okay, then we have a couple of questions over here on Instagram as well. So let's see, can you recommend a course book you like just finished the 120-hour course but haven't started yet? I intend to work on my own nut for a company. Okay, great. Well, I believe actually when you took the 120-hour course, we have a sheet, I think somewhere throughout the course there'll be a lot of book recommendations. You should have seen that, I believe, so check that out and those books that we recommend in that course, they're usually really good for that. But I also think, because I also teach a lot independently online, you can actually find a lot of resources for free on the internet or a lot of activities, a lot of things. I use a lot of, because I teach a lot of conversational style classes, so I use a lot of BBC Six Minutes English. I really like that one, that's like a six minute mini podcast and they have the transcripts and then they also always have like six or seven vocabulary words that they focus on in that lesson. So I really, really like that one recommended and they also have an American version, which is called Voice of America News, I believe Voice of America is kind of the same thing. It's like a podcast, a text, current news, current events, and then also vocabulary words. And then we actually did a live session a couple of weeks ago about chat GPT, if you guys remember, and you can use chat GPT to then kind of put in this text from the podcast and the vocabulary words and then ask chat GPT to create maybe get full exercises or create additional reading comprehension questions or anything, ask chat GPT. So I did a live session a couple of weeks ago about how to use chat GPT for your classes, for your English classes. So go and check that out. I think that's really useful for stuff like that. Awesome. Hi guys, hi, hi. Awesome. And then somebody says, Rhea Ruiza says, obviously it works for you in any Latin American country. I'm not sure what that refers to, but like I said, Latin America tends to have less strict requirements for their teachers. So you really can find a job, especially Latin America, I think is probably one of the easiest regions to get into in terms of a teaching job. However, usually the salary and the benefits also will be on the lower end compared to other countries and other places, but also low cost of living. So you can still live comfortably. And a lot of people also tutor on their side. Don't forget that guys, a lot of teachers wherever you teach, you can always find like students on the side to boost your income, to get additional income. You can also teach online, obviously from everywhere in the world. So that's also really, really good. And Solomon says, my passport is an Indian passport. Yeah, okay. So then Korea might be difficult. However, in the Korean Epic program, which is a teaching program that they, it's called English program in Korea. So they place English teachers into public schools around South Korea. And there is one exception. Normally you need to be from one of those seven English speaking countries we talked about earlier, but they have one exception. If you fulfill all the other requirements and you have a local Indian teaching license, you also qualify as an Indian citizen. So go check that out. Google Epic program Korea. And you will find all the requirements or Google like Epic program Korea Indian. And then you'll see that exception. And then you can see if you fulfill that requirement as well. That would be my recommendation. Hi guys. Hi. We're live here on Instagram and also over here actually on Facebook and YouTube at the same time. And we are doing a live TEFL TESOL Q&A. So any questions you guys have about TEFL TESOL teaching English abroad online, let me know. I'm here to help you guys today. And hopefully answer some questions. I'm super excited to be here. Thank you guys for joining. Normally I only go live here on Facebook and YouTube, but today we also have Instagram, which is really fun. So we can get some more people in. I think that's really cool. So keep your questions coming. Keep your questions coming. Ask me your questions. I would really, really appreciate that. About TEFL TESOL, everything teaching English abroad or online. And that's what we're going to do today. So I'm very excited about that. Thank you guys so much for joining. Yep, still here to answer you guys's questions. So now's your opportunity. Now is your opportunity. If you're interested in teaching English abroad, teaching online, whatever it is, taking a TEFL TESOL course, ask away. Ask away. So I have been doing this for over 10 years. Over 10 years that I've been living abroad and teach English. I started out teaching English in China. And then I moved to South Korea. And I've been in South Korea now for eight years. Eight years. And I also have my own website, linda-gose-east.com. If you're interested, also on Instagram, I am at linda-gose-east. You can send me a DM. We have actually a 30% off discount code from ITTT for any TEFL or TESOL course. So if you want that discount code on Instagram here, send me a DM. But here on Facebook and on YouTube, I was actually able to send you the link through here. So you can just copy, paste that link. But on IG, I'm not sure how I can send you a link. Oh, just DM me if you want that link. All right. And we have a question here on Instagram from... Oh, that's very hard. I'm just going to say rumah. Rumah. So basically, can I have a job after the 120-hour course? Basically, yes. The 120-hour course is accepted worldwide, recognized internationally by employers. I also took this course back in 2014. And I've worked in China and in South Korea since then. However, every country has different regulations, different requirements, different laws when it comes to their teachers, when it comes to work visas, all of these things. So it also really depends on where you want to teach and also where you're from, right? Like I said earlier for South Korea, for example, teachers in South Korea, English teachers, get the E2 visa. And that is a requirement. One of the requirements for that E2 visa is to be from one of seven English-speaking countries, which is the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand. So only if you're from one of those countries, you can teach English in Korea. This does not apply to other countries. So it really depends on where you're from and where you want to go to. But the 120-hour course is accepted worldwide. No problem, no issue there. Accepted worldwide, accredited again. And then also all ITTT course graduates receive free lifetime job support. So we will help you find a job after you complete the course. But we're also keeping it real and tell you, hey, if you're not from one of those countries, but you want to teach in Korea, for example, I'm sorry, you can't. So we're really transparent and open. We don't make any promises. But then we also offer other options. Oh, maybe Korea doesn't work for you, but how about China? How about Vietnam? How about Thailand? So we give you a couple of other options. Hi, Daniel, over here on Facebook. How are you doing, Daniel? Today we're doing Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. That's why I'm also looking over here sometimes. Just bringing greetings from Mexico City. I'm so excited, Mexico City. I really want to go, will you be my guide in Mexico City, please, Daniel? I know you want to move abroad and teach English, but maybe if I ever make it to Mexico City, please go back there and be my guide. I would appreciate that. Hi, guys, on Instagram. Hello. We're doing Tefal, TESOL, Q&A today. Great. Yeah, so keep your questions coming. That's really cool. We are 30 minutes in now, so we still have a couple of minutes left. But as you know, it is the first Friday of a new month, which means Tefal and TESOL Q&A, casual Q&A, and then every other Friday from now on will be a certain topic. I'm not sure if we're going to do Instagram every time, I have to say. So if you're watching this on Instagram and you want to join our live sessions next week, please go over to Facebook and YouTube and search for ITTT. You can watch our live sessions on there, which will have different topics, not just Q&A, but actual different topics. So every week we talk about a different topic related to Tefal, TESOL, teaching English abroad and online. So do check that out next time if you have a chance. But maybe every first Friday of the month, maybe we can do both Facebook, YouTube and Instagram like we're doing today. I think that would work really well. Yeah, so thank you guys so much for joining. Guys, do you have any more questions about teaching English abroad, online, our Tefal courses? Where is that fan? Here, ask me your questions, guys. Ask me your questions today. Whatever you're curious about, let me know. Danielle says that we'll be so awesome, Linda. I hope we can make that happen in the near future. Come visit us. I really, really wish I really want to visit. I would love to see Mexico. I actually used to live in Southern California, so San Diego, which is right at the border of Mexico, but I never went over there because I think that part of Mexico, well, I was younger and my parents kind of were like, don't go over there. Don't go over there. You would get in trouble if you go over there. So I never made it over the border, but I would love to see Mexico City and the pyramids and stuff like that part of Mexico I really want to see. So definitely. Hi, guys, over here on Instagram. Hello. So guys, ask me your questions. We have learning here from Nepal. I want to join the class. Please help me to understand the process. Yeah. So all you actually need to do is just sign up, fill out an application, and then you can start whenever you want. There are no certain times where you need to be online to join a class. So you can work at your own pace. That is really one of the benefits of ITTG's courses. You have six months to complete the course and you can work through it at your own pace. So whenever you want to study, you study. There's no, oh, at 8 a.m. this morning you need to be online. Nothing like that. Nothing like that.

But really, we've been doing this for three years now, the live sessions every single week. And we've talked about pretty much everything under the sun, let me tell you. When it comes to TEFL, TESOL, teaching English, all of that, we've talked about pretty much everything. Yeah. All right. Well, maybe we are 35 minutes in. If there are no more questions, maybe I'm just going to say goodbye. And I really appreciate you guys joining today and asking me your questions. And like I said, I would love to see you again next week for our live sessions. So please join again next week. If you're watching here on Instagram, please join again as well. You can find information about our live sessions in our profile. And we are going live on Facebook and on YouTube. Not sure about Instagram. Maybe just every first Friday of the month we'll see. Or maybe we'll add additional live sessions throughout the week on Instagram. That might be another idea. And only focus on Instagram and then only focus on this on Friday. I'm not sure. Would you be interested, guys, on Instagram in doing more live sessions like this? Let me know. And then maybe we'll just go live more often. That'd be fun. Let me know if that's something that you guys are interested in and would watch. So I know you guys want to watch it on Facebook and on YouTube. I know you guys always join our live sessions.
