I have been slaving away for the past month so
that I will be able to accomplish my first dream:
to teach abroad.
I can only hope that the months of saving will be
worth the effort. I still have yet to pay for the
program, buy the plane ticket, take those necessary
immunizations, prepare my teaching materials, and
graduate!
Also, I have to be much more diligent about studying
Espanol. Gabe says, "Why do you need to study?
Isn't that what Chile is for?" true. true. but I think
it would make for an easier transition.
I just want to be prepared.
But the exciting thing about teaching Chileans for 6 months,
while being a low-intermediate spanish conversationalist and
without prior experience, is that there will be no way for me
to ensure my success. I can't predict or imagine anything.
And the surprise motivates me.

Good Luck? Yes, good luck.
i would be scared to death, i cling to security...maybe i am a weak person.
You don't need to study spanish. Just use nonsense phrases and they will feel sorry and try to speak in english. For instance, "Hola como estoy. Puedo tener un gato. Me gusta comer en el camione."
