I was forwarded this from a friend today. I've never been a teacher and speak basically no Portuguese. I don't know what cities they'd be placing students, could be some town in the middle of nowhere for all I know. But I'm giving it some serious thought. Anybody in here taught English abroad or know someone that has? I don't know if teachers work regular 40 hour weeks or 60hr weeks or 10 hour weeks or what. What do you think? Might be a great way to stay for a bit and still get some cash to cover living expenses.
