Introduction

For some time I been exploring the possibility of moving to Asia. I seen to be attracted by the culture, the way of life. I honestly just want the experience of living in Asia, in a place so different than America. since I'm poor, I just cant go a buy an airplane ticket a catch the next flight. I have to get there and have job waiting for me. The only option I had to get to Asia with a secured job was as an ESL teacher. I'm fond of teaching, I enjoy it, Ive done it before in my native country of Colombia were I taught ESL at a local government facility.
while I was in my previous job I spoke to one of the guys there who happened to be exploring the same possibility as me and he told me about this great website called:
http://eslcafe.com/
through this site I managed to get contacted my few potential employers. Nothing went on to the next level and I was left high and dry. I wasnt gonna give up that easy, so I decided to take a course and get the TEFL certificate. This piece of paper claims that I am a certified ESL teacher.
So as I write this, I havent finished the course, I halfway done and I would love to share my work with whom ever is interested...
Hope somebody else finds it useful, please dont copy my material, you will get caught and that will be very unpleasant. Anybody is free to use the material as the basis for their own work, beware the material isnt perfect and there are plenty of mistakes...

Thanks...
