Back to the blogging - fully certified!

After four weeks of intensive, and challenging, work we've passed and are now fully qualified TEFL teachers!  It's been a really great experience, although long hours and hard work.  But it was all worth it and we now have a qualification recognised across the world and for which there appear to quite a few job opportunities - which is great to see in the current climate!

 

It's amazing to think how much we've learn't and although we've got a long way to go we both feel ready, and keen, to get into a class of our own and really start teaching!

 

So the hard work starts NOW as we apply for jobs and see what happens.  We'll carry on doing this over the next few weeks alhough everything is starting to close down for Christmas, so we'll be forced into some general relaxation time being tourists, which will be fun.

 

In the meantime we've still been having some impressive local visitors including this little chap who obviously lives somewhere near our house.  I won't be tempted to try and lift him up though as armadilo can apparently carry leprosy!  It's probably pretty rare but I don't think I'll risk it!

Anyway, have to stop for the moment as we're off to hunt for crocodiles again - so far no joy at all.  The place we went to yesterday (where crocs have been spotted very recently) had none, even though small children were happily swimming - this live bait made not a bit of difference!
