English is tough

As I am going through my certification to teach English as a foreign language I am realizing how difficult English is. Learning Russian was easier than re-learning English. I am enjoying it very much though. I find myself picking out the forms of sentences and the listening to the grammar of others. That is strange, but it is a way for me to internalize it. I hope to be teaching abroad for the new year! I'm not sure where but here is what I am thinking so far... Japan, Indonesia, Spain, or Mongolia. I am thinking for my first time to start with a 3 month contract. It would be nice to live somewhere for 3 months then move to the next place and live for 3 months and so on.

Stop by to see your old boss, he may have a connection regarding teaching English abroad.

Young children need a travel companion who will teach them language as well as translate through their travels, i.e. politicans, business folks, etc.. Won't you advertise your travel/companion/tanslator service for people seeking a certified teacher with your talent and martial arts skills (to protect the child in countries with civil unrest) and who is as beautiful as you are. I will hire you myself if you will consider taking applications. Let people know you and contact you via your cell number.
