Anyone live in Colombia?
I live here, and wondered if anyone on this board also does, and if so, in what region/city.
I basically just trying to find some English speaking car people to talk with here.
No I don't use drugs, b/c I'm sure that will come up fast.

If you're an American teacher, job prospects here are good, and since the cost of living is about half (in a lot of parts of the country) of what it is in the US, you can actually save more, even though you won't get paid as much. I found a job at one of the top 10 colegios (middle/high schools) in the country, and compared to the public school I was at in PA, this school is a lot better in every way.

I'm from PA, but moved to the Bucaramanga area to work here. Once I have some experience, I'll be moving either to the coast, or to some other country to teach.

Nissan there are like having a big block here . Stay away from the country side as well. Pa hills have nothing on those hills . O tell me about the little kids going down some in bikes .
Much of the countryside is off-limits for me, but some places are safe, and I've been to some very nice and safe countryside here. But yes, the Andes are nothing like the puny mountains in PA. There is one canyon I visited here, Chicamocha, and that thing is twice as wide and deep as the grand canyon, and looks amazing.
I haven't really been in any nissans here, but the ones I see mostly, are those ugly round sentras.

But teaching is a different story. The best way to teach English to non-speakers, is through immersion (only speaking to them in English, and teaching them in English). So the school I work at has it so the majority of the classes for students are in English, so this makes it so by the time they are in middle school, they're ALL bilingual. Most school here would probably have it this way if they could, but finding American teachers, and finding the money to pay them (they get paid well over double what an experienced and more educated Colombia teacher gets) is the hard part. So the select few schools that have this money, and have native English speakers to teach, produce bilingual students, the others produce students who know a good amount of English (but compared to a US student in the US, they know a lot more of a foriegn language than they will coming out of high school).
There are a lot of countries that seek out ESL teachers (English as a 2nd Language) including most of Europe, many of the Asian countries, Egypt, some middle eastern countries, and pretty much all of latin america.
