| Teaching In Thailand Being a international school teacher in Thailand can be a great career with salaries in the range of $2,500 to $6,000 per month, or you could become a TEFLer teaching English with a salary range of 350-600 pounds per month, although with many teaching jobs it could be worth doing a TEFL course even if no experience is necessary, but will teaching students fulfil your overseas jobs yearnings? Is a English language teaching job something you really want to do? Can you teach English? |

| Any chance for getting a teaching job for non native speaker in Thailand? Dear forum members, I am 23, originally polish, although have been living in London for last couple of years. I spent 3 months backpacking in Thailand and I absolutely love the place! As I mentioned in the title, I would like to know what is a realistic chance for getting a teaching job in Thailand, if let’s say, I obtained bachelor's degree in English philology and TEFL course? I don’t mind to work in smaller town and certainly I am aware that my earnings would never reach your level, but after all, if I wanted money, I would simply stay in Europe. |

| Thailand Travel Forum | Yes, you can work here, I know a hungarian lady that teaches in Chiang Mai at a Private school, Very easy to get a job here, there are a lot of dorks that have jobs as teachers. Doesn't seem to be that much of a problem, especially if you are a reasonably attractive lady. Thai prefer pretty people, they think I am great, and my wife is also a teacher.

| I've been teaching in Thailand 3 years and I do not think you would have any serious problem finding employment here. As long as your English skills are good and your accent not too pronounced, you'll do fine here. They hire many Philippinos, and English is not their native language, many of them just speak it. You are from where you last lived, so you are from England and were born in Poland. The pay here for teachers is quite low, but it's a fun job. Also, since teaching a language here is as much about culture as it is about teaching language, the fact you "look white" (sorry I cannot think of a better way to say it) will actually mean you are more employable than the Philippinos. |

| Ok., thanks guys, I appreciate your opinions and advises Quote:
The next thing is, I took a part of voluntary project providing English education for children in Cambodia and, gods, no matter how bad I would be with my English, I am still roughly 10 times better than the local teachers which really is sad indeed. | ||

| I think it's more regarding the accent. For instance, even though I have been living in London for almost 4 years, I still find it much easier to understand Americans than British. That could be also because most of the films on TV are American. |

| American English dumbed down. True. It's dumbed down so it is easier for people to learn.[/quote] I hope I get the penultimate response to your flame. Is this coming from someone who lives in a country where they they call a: cookie> a biscuit electric outlet> a hearth what? the hood of a car> a bonnet and the final sticking point> most humans on earth are right-handed, so they drive on the left side of the road. The English did not invent English, but they have sure done a good job in messing it up. BTW: There are over 250,000 words in the American English language, another reason why it makes it so difficult for person whose first language was not Engish to learn our language. Five definitions of the word/sound "base" please. |

| What makes me troll? I do not post anything controversial, irrelevant or off-topic nor intent to provoke other users. In fact, all I did was creating thread about teaching in Thailand, on Thai related forum. Apparently you miss understand what trolling means. |
