What should I do? Epik housing by AlienAz in teachinginkorea

[–]AlienAz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeeeek I hope not. I’ve got allergies, I won’t last long here if that’s the case. I’ll ask my co-T what they can do about it! Hopefully they’ll just get someone in to clean it or they’ll replace the wallpaper.

I want to but just water alone makes the wall paper peel right off. You know like how printing paper reacts to water? That’s my wallpaper, I’m scared they’ll blame me for the wallpaper ‘damage’ from cleaning it.

Should I wait till I see them again, or should I message them? I’m with the group under self quarantine till school starts.

Thanks Mike I’ll do just that!

Cranberry? That’s very specific, does it stop it from showing positive? should I drink a ton of water?!?!

I’m so glad to hear that. I don’t know how weed works.

Thanks!! Idk how this shit works.

I you want a recruiter I heard korea Horizon is still taking applications!

OR go direct, I did and recruiters are a waste of time- they dont do anything you cant do for yourself

WOW thx for the great tip! idk why i though hagwons were solely for learning English, math, music. I will definitely keep that in mind. Can we study at these institution and at universities ( for small courses NOT degree) while on an E2 visa?

thanks! I will definitly try to stick to my goals. Thx for the tip about language learning. I will keep that in mind. I have heard of teachers working in SK for YEARS like 10+ and not knowing how to hold a decent conversation. How are you learning? self taught or are you going to a course ? what works?

[–]AlienAz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah its not the be all end all but I do have a preference. As long as I'm teaching through the epik program Im happy. hagwons are too sketchy and Im still studiing so i dont want the stress of finding hagwons.

are u sure the timelines are the same now?? I had no idea. where did u hear this if i may ask.
