Korean Language

Hangul - Korean Language As daunting as it seems, living and working in Korea without former knowledge of Korean is not THAT difficult.

In your classroom you are not supposed to use ANY Korean so students are forced to communicate with you exclusively in English. For all intents and purposes this seems to work quite well. There are times when you need more moves than a mime at the circus but you are still able to communicate quite effectively without any skills in Korean.

The beauty of the matter is that if you are interested in learning Korean, getting the basics is really quite easy.

Does the political situation in North Korea negatively impact your decision to teach in South Korea?

Danielle Bowes “Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
