I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!! as a youngster I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option.
From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice because if I had selected a translation career, for instance, probably I would have already been stressed from all the stillness and little dynamism of a job behind the computer.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job. I enjoyed it a lot at first, leaving work, going home and not having anything else to do was somewhat rewarding but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England. I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL
ResponderBorrarHow cute that you have opted for pedagogy, is the ground for generating change.
I would love to get to know netherlands and its culture
I think that the pedagogy is a beautiful and very important occupation in our society
ResponderBorrarand I find it great that you can go to perfect your studies in the Netherlands, Switzerland and / or England, who knows? :)
Good luck with your plans!
Good luck with studying abroad! it would be a very nice experience
ResponderBorrarIt's a great difference to be in an office and then in a classroom, but I think pedagogy is a beautiful profession and teaching languages it must to be much more interesting.

ResponderBorrarPedagogy is a difficult road. It's good that you've ventured. Good luck with your dreams!!
I think Netherlands or Switzerland are better options to taking a PHD than England! But I think you have to continue with the pedagogy too :)
ResponderBorrarI study journalism and like teaching, it is a career in which work never ends, neither at home, nor in the park, nor with the family. But I think that is the greatest emotion of the achievements.
ResponderBorrarPedagogy is a beautiful profession!
ResponderBorrarAll in my family are teachers and i have a beautiful past as a teacher too.
This is one of the works i really admire and I hope you can continue perfecting in this beautiful career!!!
We will always feel grateful for the people who decide to be teachers by vocation, good luck for your future plans!
ResponderBorrarI think language teaching is very interesting because the teacher can observe the progress of each student. The pedagogy is fundamental for our society, it is the beginning of important changes.
ResponderBorrarI think chileans have not a good english level...We don't even know how to speak spanish well and also we have to learn english LOL. But I really appreciate teachers like you, who teach that important language around the world and so difficult to many chileans...Regards!
ResponderBorrarI find it interesting to study a language, but is interesting too when it is applied to something related to art, for example the poetry. Do you like english poetry? Can you recomend me some good poetry?
ResponderBorrarregards :)
Oh! It's so good thtat you are where you want to be. I believe you are a very good a teacher :) In my case, it's the opposite!! I hate to travel and meet new people and even more if they don't speak my language. I mean, I don't like to speak another language.
ResponderBorrarBless!
Living in another country is difficult at first, but it is comforting how much your horizons expand. I hope you can then teach everything you will learn!
ResponderBorrarI think that the pedagogy is great! I hope you are all plans!!!!! I also plan to travel to perfect my studies, It will difficult, but I think it is necessary. Good Luck!
