Congratulations! My nephew and his wife own a school they founded because she would teach English (she's Italian and knows ten languages fluently). It has now grown into a full fledged tutoring school as everyone wants their kids to get A's and do well on the SAT's!

I'm not sure yet where I'd like to work - Jeff and I are planning on living around here, but I'd love to work in another country - preferably somewhere in Western Europe. But I'm happy anywhere. I just have a great love for languages and other cultures - I speak German, French, Italian, and am now learning Russian and Japanese as well. I've just experienced that learning another language really opens up the world to you - not just because you can go different places and converse with the people - but because you learn so much about the people through their language. It's so interesting.

I'm looking now at cyber schools so that I can have contact with other countries but work from home...it will also give me more flexibility with going on overnights with Jeff when I want to.

I'm also planning on doing hopefully at least one volunteer trip abroad teaching english before we get married - if all works out, hopefully in January. I just have to decide where I want to do it!

Your plans sound so exciting! I teach in my high school's ELD program and it is truly a challenge. You are a brave soul!
