Teaching English in Korea

Well, I finish my degree in Arts at the end of this year, and I am thinking of teaching in Korea for a year if I don't get into the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba.

Do you think it would be a good idea to do so? What are some of the jobs that are available there?

I learned some korean when I was dating a girl who was from there for half a year and I am very interested in the culture and people and the language there.

Are there any other options to try such as teaching English in China or Japan? What are some of the requirements? And what kind of accomodations are there?

Thanks in advance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I get my Bachelor's this December (Although I set my grad date for the Spring). I want to pursue teaching so I figure that getting some experience overseas would help me out in the long run.

How hard can adjustment be in Korea, or China or Japan for that matter? I mean in terms of culture etc., I know some Korean words, (Such as hello, what are you doing? Please stop, etc.) and I can understand a little more than I can speak.

Any preparations I need?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Man, that was a pretty good post for a drunk person.

Yeah, I don't plan to learn much more Korean while I am still in Canada, since I want to go to Korea for the most part to learn the language. I mean, I go there to teach English, and I get taught Korea. It would be cool to speak two languages.

I should have paid attention to French class in high school...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I already have my passport. Just got it a week or so ago too.

I will take a look at it and see what tickles my fancy. But JET probably won't work for me since I am Canadian. Anyone know the Canadian equvilent or other options?

edit: I found it.... Geez, I should look before I post anything...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
