Hello Julie,

You seem like you did not put much effort reading the messages by Koreans in this forum. NONE OF THEM IS ANTI- AMERICAN or mention Americans anywhere.

Besides, the majority of English teachers in Korea are Canadians, for the last 10 years or so. e.g. Recruiters like me get pay more for hiring Canadians. no offense, to the other countries where English teachers come from, is a business in Korea and schools keep asking for Canadians. Despite the poor English you observed from the recruiters in these forums (I guess) - is well known in Korea that some of them (good ones) place around 200 English teachers a year (around USD 300k a year), around 70% of these teachers are Canadians. IT'S A BUSINESS.

Personally I found these web new forums very interesting as help the English teachers be more prepare to take the big step and travel overseas to teach English. The more the English teacher knows, the better for him/her, the Korean school and of course, the recruiter.

Success and happiness to our 2 great countries and why not, to all the countries of earth!, Tim
