I've seen a few friends on Facebook post about doing this and I always wondered about how you communicated with the people you were teaching without speaking the language. I guess they already have a decent grasp of the basics? Until I saw my friends doing it, I always assumed you had to be multi-lingual. A lot of Asian countries don't want you to know the native language because you end up using that to explain things and then the students aren't "immersed" in the language. I have a friend of mine teaching English in South Korea that speaks Korean that would get in trouble sometimes for doing that, so some places just prefer you not to know it. Most people you teach already know the basics so as long as you speak simply and slowly it should be fine. Gestures and images go a long way too. When I took Korean language classes after the first level the teachers didn't know English anymore so you'd learn Korean in Korean, which forces you to learn much faster. --- http://psnprofiles.com/Drayxs <cite>BlackDra90n posted [p:904587929] in Casually c...
