10 Things They DON'T Tell You About Teaching Abroad // What to Know Before Teaching Abroad

I lived in Madrid for a year myself! Amazing place 🇪🇸

This was great info. Thank you!

I’m sorry they expect you to do unpaid Labour!?

Hello. Doing teaching English career in my own country, I still the same problems as you mentioned. Although there might be more teaching abroad. Thank you for the tips.

Great content. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

About #9, once I heard that it's really only Americans that suck about talking to people that aren't in their immediate vicinity. I read an article about how Indians are really good at keeping friendships once they're abroad because they're family oriented and friendships don't form so quickly so therefore they don't break so quickly. And then I remembered someone said the same about Latin Americans, and then I remembered someone said the same about Russians and Eastern Europeans and etc etc 😅 I think we're just so buddy buddy with strangers and new people that once people in our lives leave, we don't even bat an eye because then we just fill that hole with new people. And we're not used to people moving abroad.

Thank you for the links!

Thanks

Jamie ji...thank you so much for the information.👏🙌🤝💐❤😊

Would you suggest a teacher have a background / understanding of how to determine if and how to work with a child that has additional needs

Bitten by a monkey? Are you for real?

This is a really helpful video and definitely is a lot of extremely helpful information. Thanks

Great content

Please, tell us what was the situation in Egypt?

#10 Reverse culture shock. Yeah. After 5 years of livingg in rural Donegal, Ireland. I came home for what was to be 1 year.
I had to stock my house from laundry detergent and food to lamps.
I was doing fine, all the basics were in my trolly, then the UNTHINKABLE. The dish washing up aisle. I just needed some washing up liquid and it was a full a8sle of dishwasher or hand washing. 8 had this one side of a HUGE aisle 9f liquid dishsoap. Every kind, evert smell and color, every choice imaginable.
* I ended up having a massive anxiety attack over freaking dissh soap choices.
Discarded cart and contents, ran outside for air. I LIKED having just 2 choices, Fairy and the cheaper one. I'll never forget that day. It put so much into perspective. Pumpkin pie spice wahing up, linen breeze scent, citrus scent, guaranteed to cut any grease instantly in no less than 30 seconds. Yeah. BIG, BIG anxiety attack. I don't WANT an aisle full of choices. Not not or from when I was away grom the u.s.
Had a total breakdown in my car. 😢

Very helpful thanks 🙏

Would love to hear the Arab Spring story

Thanks!

I would like to hear your emergency evacuation program.

l look forward to watching all your videos ,Coz they are so important .❤

Thanks Giving and Hollowen are not their countries culture. If I were the parents I would rather prefer the teachers teach my kids our own locals culture. Just saying.

Dang, that's the first time that I have ever heard of a teacher talking about having an evacuation plan.

Excellent Video...
A very sobering thought, especially the Culture Shock of coming back to you home, I wouldn't have thought that, but have seen it many times when my husband was in the Navy... and his friends would come back.... DIFFERENT.
A lot to think about...

I am really excited that I found your account. I have been waffling on following the ESL path due to financial fears and lack of support from those around me, but it’s always been something I’ve thought about. I am yearning for culture shock.

I want to hear the story about the Arab spring!
