yeah, it's right in that same article.

looks like that's the "details below" part of that paragraph.

same deal in China. some people will like your jokes and others won't.

"no matter what it should always be acceptable to discuss a topic."

This is probably where you're running into trouble; rape victims are not into being blamed or mocked for getting raped, for example, and many people won't appreciate someone offending or making other people uncomfortable unnecessarily.

you have the prerogative to choose your words and other people have the prerogative to judge your words.

to get back to your original comment, I can assure you that having a rough or even largely disagreeable personality is not going to stop you moving to, living or teaching in China or most other countries.

people saved them before they were Taken down.

nah, that sort of pre-emptive dismissal is a symptom of thinking of "China" as some monocultural concept rather than a country the size of the US with five times as many people and ideas.

jokes are fine, but do people like your jokes in the US?

are your culturally indelicate jokes appreciated where you're from?

"...you mean"

nope!

"...Europe is likely to have a higher average cost of living yhan the US"

it definitely doesn't; the average European cost of living is much lower than in the US, especially in the context of traveling.

If you're a native English speaker, the easiest thing to start teaching is English.

fundamental English for primary students, the school provides the curriculum, some training and an assistant in the classroom.

Teaching English doesn't require any sort of credentials, although I recommend getting an accredited tefl certificate because they last for life and instantly boost your pay by 20% or more, as well as giving you some baseline information about teaching english.

dozens of countries want you to go teach English, english is a very in demand skill.

China has literally thousands of job listings by itself. Pretty much every other country in Asia, Africa, and Europe that is not primarily English speaking is looking for English teachers.

it really would be easier to list the countries that are not looking for English teachers.

there are dozens of countries, hundreds of websites and thousands of jobs waiting for an English teacher right now.

and the cost of living is so much lower that there will be instant financial relief.

check out the comments I wrote to the other people asking how teaching works in this post, I go in to a little more detail.

and feel free to ask me more questions.

I'm confused by this title and like kumail.

there are dozens of apps you can use to teach English online, or join a school and just use Skype or whatever video conferencing app they ask you to use to conduct class.

popular apps are cambly, Palfish, hang on... these are some common English teaching apps:

"...imagine that’s easier said than done"

Not much! A native accent is all I had at the start, and the same goes for plenty of teachers.

You can get a TEFL(teaching english as a foreign language) certificate, it's several online PDF tests, culminates in an internationally accredited teaching certificate, useful and I recommend it, but not necessary to start teaching in most countries.

As for the practical side of one "learning to teach", you'll mostly be teaching children, so the material itself will be fundamental.

you will be given the curriculum that the school you join uses, let's say in that curriculum there are 50 lessons for each grade, one big textbook per grade for you to read from.

The school will let you sit in on a couple lessons with current teachers and ask current teachers how they present the material, and after watching them teach a couple times, you do a similar thing in front of 5-8 kids at a private school, 20-30 in a public school.

In effect, a rough lesson plan for the day is: 10 minutes of vocabulary(speak and repeat), 10 minutes of sentence exercises, 5-10 minute break, 10 minutes of vocabulary, 10 minutes of exercises or a ten minute activity.

You'll have an assistant in the classroom to corral the children, so your responsibility for the day is reading the material in "grade 2 lesson 5", asking the kids to repeat, and following the above class schedule. The next lesson, "grade 2 lesson 6" and so on.

Teaching 25 hours a week on average.

Dress clean, stay sober for classes, don't hurt the kids.

In China, they pay $2500 starting plus signing bonuses and benefits according to the school; it costs about $500 a month to live in China if you have to pay for rent(schools provide housing sometimes), save money, boot's off your neck, go from there.

Oh, i forgot about remote teaching. That, you just download an app, connect your payment option, repeat vocabulary to kids for 30 minutes to an hour at a time, direct deposit each class or whatever the payment period that app or school provides is.

thanks, happy eid back at you.

If you are a native English speaker, you can teach online remotely from anywhere or in person in dozens of countries.

Even teaching 10 hours a week is going to give you enough money for the extremely low cost of living abroad.

If you want specifics or further alternatives, ask away. I've been traveling for a long time.
