Korea is an amazing country to live and work but that said, there are a lot of people who dwell on the negatives... don't be one of those people...
- Be patient and accepting.
- Accept that you don't understand the many facets of the culture and that you may never completely understand and you are well on your way to making the most of your experience. Remember that you are in a foreign country and that things happen differently.
- Explore and achieve.
- Often when one first arrives in any country they explore to begin with and then they settle into routines. Our advice to you is to step out of your comfort zone and you will get a lot more out of your experience.
- Learn the language.
- One of the most important things you can do while you're in Korea is to try to learn some Korean. Koreans are extremely appreciative to those that show an interest in their history, their culture and their language. It doesn't take much but it will make a tremendous difference in the way Koreans will act and react to you. It's really not that difficult either, you just need to put a little effort into it.
- Stay away from negativity.
- There are some people who simply should just move on, end of story.

“I just wanted to say thank you all for your help with the application procedure for teaching in Korea! You helped make it go very smoothly! I've heard stories from teachers who've had a difficult time with it but I must say, I've had a great experience with Footprints and I recommend you to anyone looking to teach in Korea. Nice quick, straight-forward approach to providing information. Friendly staff too! :) Thanks again! By the way, did I mention I love Korea?! :)
