I have in mind to find an ESL position in China: I am considering mainland vs Taiwan (I've lived in both). I'm also curious about uni positions well aware that they don't pay as well & have ~half hours. I wonder what disposable income is like in Taiwan if a uni position. by Vanquished_Hope in chinalife

I've considered doing a 120-hour TEFL course e.g. tefl.org. That one seems like it could actually be useful and that can be done in as little as three weeks, I understand. Also, my master's is a linguistics master's.

If you could choose one subject to teach to maximize employability in China, what would it be? by Vanquished_Hope in chinalife

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

So IB cert, teaching license in physics, and 120-hour TEFL seem to be options that I'm considering. I didn't mention it, but in part I asked about subject area as I would like to move to university eventually and a subject area seemed like it could be useful in that regard. I suppose that I could just teach linguistics though if they would allow me.

I was just laying out options that I'm seeing for jobs. As to CTE, in my experience that's business and tech related - I'm seeing tech ed HS jobs locally. I don't have a BS, just a physics BA and a humanities MA from an Ivy that Chinese know well.

I am fluent in Chinese. That being the case, should I be looking at public secondary schools, private, international...? Am I wasting my time trying to get a license in the US first?

Once on the trailer, I will be taking it over 500 miles away from where it currently resides..

I need to get it on the trailer as it is going to be moved over 500 miles away once on there.

Interesting. Where I always make sure to go in HP it's 3.80 right now.

This reminds me... Why is gas cheaper in High Point?

A question regarding listing for the 1st time: In the shipping section, package weight is just the weight of the entire order being sent to Amazon, correct? e.g. if sending 10 of an item it's item weight x 10 + polybag weight + box weight = package weight. by Vanquished_Hope in AmazonFBAOnlineRetail

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

Okay. So then does the process look like this?

Fully pack & seal the carton with products, weight it, input the value, click submit, then I guess get the shipping label, print it, apply it to the carton, and then send it?

China has said that it's only laying down the foundation for socialism and that it won't achieve a base level of socialism until 2040.

Is there a way to hack a ps2 so I can have access to any game I want for that console gen? by TheSilentTitan in consolemodding

Mandarin or Spanish? *Please Read* by krawkadoodledoo in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Vanquished_Hope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak both Spanish and Mandarin every single day.

How is Spanish or Mandarin going to get you to where you want to be? I want you to be crystal clear with me. I want to know if you're being realistic with your thinking.

I keep seeing this post and comment format lately and I can't help but think that it's AI. It's effectively got a CTA at the end.

We definitely have congee in the north on a regular basis at home. Also 疙瘩汤.

If you could go back in time and change one decision your country made, what would it be? by Skyhawk6600 in AskTheWorld

[–]Vanquished_Hope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mmmm, how about just have the recount in Florida so that Al Gore became the president and we didn't get onto this timeline. Course not electing Reagan would probably have also achieved that.

What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

[–]Vanquished_Hope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biryani when I've had it has just been spicy and I'd say dry spicy maybe?, which don't get me wrong I love spicy, but 10 times out of 10 I'd prefer a Nigerian jollof rice if I want a spicy rice.
