Well sounds like you have a good prospect there. There will always be a need for language schools so that would be a long term income for you. Well done mate.

YEs michal. But look you are on an internet forum and look how many people you manage to offend. Also when people try to translate something to English, you take great pleasure in laughing at them and putting them down(not something a teacher should do) also you have nothing good to say about Poland. Can you imagine what your free conversation classes would be like??? Ha ha. Also all you can talk about is when you were a student, can you imagine telling this to a group if teenagers?? They would fall asleep in minutes.

I have no doubt that you could get a job as an English teacher here, I just wonder how long it would be before they would say "dowidzenia Michal".

The strange thing about you is that you mentioned you had to study Polish, so at some point in your life you must have spoke Polish terribly, however when someone else cant do it you put them down. Again this is not the behaviour of a teacher. I think you have made a smart choice not using your TEFL anywhere. Also most schools look for CELTA now.

If you can not even speak Polish then how on God's earth can you do tranlation work in class

Michal it is an English school. There are hundreds of teachers who are teaching English in schools that dont know how to speak Polish. I didnt believe this and that is why I didnt think I would get a job here. At the end of the day people go to and English school ,believe it or not, to speak English. If there are any problems with translations there are many teachers on hand to help. It can actually be good for a student when they cant remember a word , to have a teacher who cant help them because then they must find a way to describe what they want to say. This in turn leads to us discovering the word and also helps them to prepare for the time when they will be speaking with someone English and they are not able to remeber a word.

Language / A Native American or a Native Pole: Who is better into which language? [116]

So what is it then that allows you to teach English or anything else for that matter in Poland but excludes everybody else?

Excuse me but I dont remember excluding everyone else from being able to teach English. Just you michal, just you.

Well added to the rent from my house in England I do very well:) Also michal i belive the whole of Poland would celebrate if they knew you and knew that you wont ever be coming to live here. It seems like you are just interested in money. Just like all those TEFL teachers you mnetioned.

I tell you what, I will come and give you some free Polish Language lessons the next time I come over to Poland

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Please dont come to Poland. Also bo is an acceptable word to use instead of poniewaz. I know it may not be very 'ellegant' as one student described it but you will even see Bo on many road warnings here and also in songs, films and cereals etc.

Well as there are so many teachers with CELTA's most school's can afford to be picky. Again it depends on the person and what 'feelings' the school have after their first meeting. I think there are many schools that would allow teachers to teach without any qualifications. I met an 18 year old Polish/English guy who was teaching here and he had no teaching experience or qualifications but he managed to get a job.

Yes, and I make big mistakes now too. I learn all the time just like anybody else. Before I went to Jagiellonski, I knew very little Polish

So why do you try to keep putting me down for not being able to speak Polish well?? If you were at the same point as I am now surely you understand that it takes time and work to learn a language??

At least it is good to know that the Polish students do not have to pay you much for your lessons. How much is it they pay you a month in Poland for your unskilled job? Two packets of peanuts

4,000zl plus 900 pound a month for the rent of my house. I do quite well thanks mickey.
