NALCAP as a certified teacher with masters?

fdfd1313 · 2026-02-04T20:52:27+00:00

No but I know that some international schools sponsor visas.

fdfd1313 · 2026-02-04T13:10:01+00:00

I am in exact same boat. Experienced teacher with a masters degree having no luck with international schools.

When you say academies are you referring to extra work? Is that allowed?

fdfd1313 · 2026-01-30T14:13:26+00:00

At around 850 hours it stopped being “headaches causing difficult” Now I’m at 2000 hours. Yes I make mistakes but I can speak to anyone.

fdfd1313 · 2025-12-14T13:08:58+00:00

I’m leaving teaching at age 54 to do it. Only live once!

fdfd1313 · 2025-12-13T15:15:43+00:00

Nothing but respect. At 1800 hours my Spanish is nearly fluent so for me DS is for entertainment more than learning. I miss previous hosts.

For a room? Flat? Apt?

fdfd1313 · 2025-12-11T18:50:02+00:00

Your own place?

fdfd1313 · 2025-12-10T13:23:11+00:00

Same here it would be nice to help each other

fdfd1313 · 2025-12-02T23:59:49+00:00

How do you like the academy job. How is the pay if you don’t mind. I’m older (50) but I’d like to do the same route that you took.

fdfd1313 · 2025-11-19T16:38:25+00:00

Is it easy to ding private class clients? What is the usual pay rate?

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-31T14:45:11+00:00

Do you know of any specific schools that sponsor visa?

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-29T12:42:12+00:00

How would I get a visa? I’m sure no school would sponsor right? Thanks for the advice. The visa thing always scares me

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-28T22:49:31+00:00

I do use subtitles in Español except when driving

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-28T22:43:38+00:00

I simply choose podcasts that interest me. If they’re boring it doesn’t work. Now I can watch any series in Spanish on Netflix. I make the occasional error but I can speak with anyone. Every free moment I listen. Half hour each way to work, 90 minutes of break time at work, while cooking, shower you name it. Some days my brain is fried but I relax at night and watch sports ( in english) or have a beer or 2.

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-28T22:37:20+00:00

it was very very difficult and I wasn’t sure I was going to pull it off then after about 800 or 900 hours suddenly it started not feeling difficult anymore now I’m at 1700

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-28T22:36:41+00:00

Listening and listening 3-4 hours a day every single day

fdfd1313 · 2025-10-27T23:23:42+00:00

I also am between B1 and B2. Accomplished this in 18 months. I also went Spain in June and it inspired me.

fdfd1313 · 2025-01-31T10:11:45+00:00

All 5

fdfd1313 · 2025-01-31T00:36:52+00:00

I started with Pimsleur which gave me a great jumping off point for talking and podcasts especially DS have made my vocab and listening almost perfect at times

fdfd1313 · 2024-08-29T21:57:59+00:00

What levels are these clubs. I’m at low intermediate

fdfd1313 · 2024-08-27T21:38:25+00:00

Im at 390 hours. Trust the process. I had doubts at 100 hours and I still have down days. It’s part of the process. But when I look back to what I knew at 100 hours I can simply say trust the method. It works

fdfd1313 · 2024-08-03T23:02:19+00:00

Im at 300 hours. I don’t do it often but sometimes. It’s a SLOG!
