I plan to go to China next February to check out the possibily of teaching English there. I've chosen to visit Nanning because I have a Chinese internet friend there. I have 10 years experience teaching English to adult Thais at a well-known American school in Bangkok, Thailand. I can speak and read Thai. Also, now I'm learning basic conversational Chinese Mandarin with private tutors. If anyone has any suggestions or advice about preparing to teach in China and what to expect while working there, please email to me.
