El Vikingo comments on Mike Newell's 'Love in the Time of Cholera' I read the novel last year, blissfully ignorant of the production of the film. Despite the topic not being what I usually look for in a novel, I was much impressed. Marquez Cha-Cha!

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia Three of my fellow candidates (we were five) came from England to do the course in Spain, partly because it was cheaper than doing it in their home country and partly because it was an opportunity to get away from old Blighty. However, if you can obtain your CELTA in London at 800 pounds that might well be worth your while. However, like I've said before, I think Cambridge School and International House probably provide the best tuition.

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia TEFL/TESOL are obsolete terms. See previous poster (SiV).

El Vikingo comments on I totally (well almost) agree with you. However, I do think there's more to these pages than mere entertainment. I'm a newbie, but it looks way better than the Boring Planet TT pages and I hope to learn more about living in Locombia this way. But yeah, I'm all for meeting. Cheers, Erik

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia CELTA - in Europe you can choose between several schools and countries. At first, I considered International House in London, however after a little research I decided on Cambridge School in Granollers just outside Barcelona. http://www.cambridgeschool.com/CeltaFrameset.htm The 5 weeks course (doing it in 4 will will kill you, mark my words) cost 1,365 Euros and the accomodation 10 Euros per night. Granollers is a commuter town where, fortunately, nothing really happens thus you won't need loadsa money. 15 Euros a day provides food and drink. Great tutors and work environment. Definitely recommended.

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia Bill - and the rest of you, for that matter - do you reckon a fresh CELTA do the job? And would it be enough to secure a contract previous to entering the country? Thanks for posting.

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia Well, Vic, I guess that would depend on a few factors like for instance where you live as well as the cost of living. I talked to people in Barcelona saying prices had gone up while wages remained the same as they were when they lost the Peseta to the Euro. Apparently 4-500 Euros can get you a decent flat in Catalunya, however the cost of living up north is high. In comparison, Andalucia (Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, etc.) is cheaper but you would make less money teaching there. Or so I've been told. A quick calculation shows 1,250,000 cop to equal 436,797 Euros. A month? How much would you need for food and accomodation? A small flat (2 rooms )? Thanks for all feedback, appreciated.

El Vikingo comments on Teaching English in Colombia Thanks to you both for quick replies. Bill, I have nothing but a CELTA to my credit aside from having taught private classes (employees in a petrol company) at a couple of schools in Peru and secondary school here in Norway.
