Najwa Sabih Destinations Alumni Experiences Teaching English in Turkey can be challenging as this language is not very common here. Turkish people are very loyal to their country and language, so they consider it unimportant to learn a new language.

Oil wealth has meant that many of the countries of the Middle East have been able to pay high salaries to attract the 'best' and most qualified teachers.

Kristin Hoppe TEFL Information At 25 years old, I heard Peru calling my name and could no longer ignore it.

Spoiler alert: it was a fantastic idea. Women have all heard the warnings before: Don’t walk alone at night. Keep your purse close to you. Never leave your drink unattended. We’ve been raised listening to these stock warnings, and then we hear...  [Read more]

This experience helped me to understand why in Turkey learning English, and foreign languages, in...  [Read more]
