Something that started in Russia has now spread to the states. The very atmosphere has become demonically possessed, and you basically need only to look into the outside world to be immediately driven to suicide. However, the (criminally) deranged (it seems) portion of the population see something so beautiful in this otherwise demonically possessed atmosphere and instead of being driven to offing themselves by the most immediate means available, they feel compelled to show others the view, by force if necessary, with total disregard for their well-being. Regardless of the film’s quality, the metaphor was a maga-nificent!

What are the requirements to teach English in China? Well, China is a big country and some of its rules can fluctuate from city to city, province to province and school to school.

The requirements are not very clear cut and they can be conditional depending on the visa type, your qualifications and location within China.

The legal visa or rather the official visa for teaching English in China is the Z visa which we will talk about first. The other visa that is commonly used, but not officially for teaching English is the F (business) visa. 

We'll talk about that one later.

The places with the strictest requirements are usually the tier 1 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzen and Guangzhou.

So...

In this post I will try to answer the question, "Where do I take a TEFL/TESOL course?" And the answer is based on my experience teaching English in Taiwan, China, Korea and I currently live in Japan.

My whole teaching abroad experience started in 2004 and I have either been teaching, learning about it or helping other teachers online since then.

Anyways...

Where can you take a TEFL/TESOL course?

First off it doesn't matter if it's a TEFL or TESOL course as these courses refer to the same thing.

And...

You can take a course pretty much anywhere. There is no official site for TEFL that is more accredited or recognized or whatever.

So it doesn't matter?

If you had only studied Korean for two hours, and then had to take a test, how would you do?

This is what my little brother tried, with a cash incentive.

We wanted to take a break from learning new topics and focus on reviewing what he'd already learned. So to do that, we did a Korean test to see how well he remembered what we learned over the past two classes.

How do you think he did? And what should we do for our next class?

It's here - the Busan dialect episode.

Are you interested in learning Busan dialect? Besides standard Korean, Busan dialect is the most popular dialect in South Korea. This is due to a large number of celebrities who are from Busan, as well as many famous movies and dramas that were filmed with Busan as the background. Also more recently, two of the members of BTS are from Busan and use dialect - this further pushed Busan into the public eye, among both Koreans and Korean learners from other countries.

When I lived in Korea, I first was in Busan. So I learned Busan dialect technically before learning how people spoke in Seoul. Making a video about Busan dialect has always been something on the back of my mind, so after several months of research, filming, and editing, this video is a culmination of all of that work.
