Just my guess :) |
I figured as much, but really haven't a clue as to how the internets actually work so I didn't want to guess as I figured there was at least a 50% I make an arse of myself. :p |

Most hosting companies use CPanel. This has it built into it iirc. |

Do it. But keep asking lots and lots and lots and lots of questions. Zone in on the fine print. Too many instances I've seen when teachers would be "fired" 2 months before final contract or were told that the rest of their monies would go on their next paycheck. Or as someone already mentioned, many institutes just going straight bankrupt. Not to hinder you or anything, but didn't you say you had a Master's? If I were you, I would shoot for a Uni position.
But Freak is right. Korea is where its at. I just didn't think I could assimilate myself too well in the Eastern culture. Still, it's all an experience of a lifetime.
Regardless, best of luck to you. |

Thank you for the link! And I don't have a masters degree - just a BA right now and have just begun on graduate work and kind of decided I'd rather put that off for a year to do something like this, and come back and finish a grad program. |

Saxoncourt.
Don't know if its still the case, but then they required of course the BA + 1 year teaching experience, although now I heard its 2 years. You can read through some of its soso reviews and its website. they're trying to weed through all those recent grads who are merely doing this as a sort of spring break continuation. At the time availabity was only Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Ura/Paraguay. I'm sure its had to have gotten more extensive. |

I've wanted to do that for a very long time, and as such, these sort of programs have always appealed to me. I never got as far as to see what all was required. And I don't have a BS in anything. More of a dream, I suppose.
However, I have started learning the language. I even got the Japanese IME working on the laptop yesterday. 日本語 Hooray for me!
Let it be known that I'm quite jealous if you take this opportunity. :) Best of luck! |

And I don't think I'd be able to do it, or even be able to be in a relationship with someone, who would. ;)
Honestly, between you and my parents supporting me on this so much, knowing kids like Garth, Drew, and Mike who have all kind of taken advantage of their opportunities to travel, and my own general curiosity and excitement about all this, I really feel fortunate because I've got all these resources to draw on for support and just in general people encouraging me to live my life how I'm going to be happy.
It's an oddly (and awesome) calming feeling. :) |
