South Africa is a country on the southern-most tip of Africa. It’s renowned for its stunning and diverse scenery, as well as its fantastic food and wine. English is just one of the 11 official languages which would explain why so few TEFL positions are advertised outside of the country. Many South African teachers seek work abroad in search of a better salary – the South African rand has devalued steadily over the years and so you should consider this when applying for a job there. If you are going to work and live there, it is highly recommended that you listen to safety tips friends and colleagues will give you for day-to-day life in South Africa.

A nice enough message but in context rather perplexing and I wrote back ‘You too!?!’ only to be corrected: ‘No, I’ve taught one year twenty five times.
