If you teach english and are a foreigner, there's a high possibility that Rekrul hates you.

I am glad you took the time to write that. Don't sell it short.

What is your accountability as a teacher? What are the expectations of you?

I really understand where you are coming from with a lot of the problems you have with your job. I have a lot of similar issues.

A lot of koreans do that - at the ㅇ to the end of the last characters in a sentence.

instead of like 네 (for yes) they will type 넹 or 넵 or like 알았어요 = 알았어용

just a slang kinda thing that makes words sound cuter i guess

He basically came out the closet, professed his love for me and all things teaching.

Alternatively...
+ Show Spoiler +
He said it wasn't a good read, and added 'fucking bitch' at the end for good measure




...lol

Thanks for all the responses guys. <3

@Chill: Yeah trying to study a little Korean as I go along. I attend evening language classes 3x a week. Learning by osmosis is a big myth sadly .

@Shloober: suree~~

@Kennelie: I teach ~20 hours a week (~4 hours a day). I have mainly first year classes which means 16 classes x 40 students = 640 students. I've done second year classes too.. so the number can be doubled... I went to a (mandatory) workshop on teaching methods recently and one guy suggested I should make an effort to learn all my students' names.... I let out a big 'HA!'.

@29fps: It is a bit strange as an English-speaking Asian in Korea. I get treated very differently from your typical white foreigner. It has its ups and downs but its fine. I will do a penetrating psycho-analytical study of all this soon.

@Luddite: Overall. I'd have to say no. Whilst I have met some fun K teachers, the actual teaching is pretty tedious. Added to this, the slightly backward administrative culture that prevails here and sometimes you can be quite frustrated. But then again, few jobs are great and its still a fantastic way to experience Korea for a year.

@micronesia... your question deserves a longer response.. No time now sorry, will post again later~~
