This question from Angelica from Mexico:
"I really would love to have the chance to teach in Korea but all
websites that I have seen are only looking for native speakers. Of
course I understand why, but I hope I can find a school like the one
where I used to to teach in Thailand. Even if it's for volunteer work I
would love it. I am not interested in the payment, but in the
experience."
Unfortunately, it's almost impossible for non-native speakers to get visas to teach English in Korea, no matter how fluent they are in English. However, there is a way around this: become a student! I've had some international friends in the past who were students in Korea, and as a student, you're legally able to work up to 20 hours a week (I think) during semesters, and more during vacations. So, you could get a part-time job at a hagwon while studying Korean at the same time.

Hi.
Great advice! What kind of visa do you then apply for?
And won't it be hard to go to school AND work?:S Or is it possible to study without going to school? Or does taking korean lessons count as studying?"/
