Teaching in Saigon, or officially Ho Chi Minh City, is an incredible and rewarding adventure. An English teaching job is fairly easy to secure, as long as you have your TESOL (or equivalent) certificate, college degree, and criminal background check. Most teachers work at night during the week, which is great because they have the days free. Weekends are spent teaching the kids. LanguageCorps is a very effective program, and I learned a lot of useful teaching techniques. It also offers a useful support system. Life in Saigon is really exciting and energetic. It's a huge city with a variety of things to do, fantastic food, and the nicest people you'll ever meet. However, be weary of bags/purses as petty crimes can be a prevalent in certain areas. However, the city has a great social scene and you are able to take trips to travel around Vietnam and Asia, as most schools are flexible with taking time off. Vietnam is a life-changing place and not a minute goes by when I regret coming here!

Teaching in Vietnam can be an extremely rewarding experience, and LanguageCorps will give you the basic skills to begin your adventure. It obviously isn't for everyone- you need to have an open mind, be willing to have a few setbacks, be extremely patient at times, and keep a sense of humor- but the benefits can far outweigh the downsides if you're willing to let them.
English teachers in Vietnam make a very comfortable wage based on the standard of living, and you'll have enough money to be able to travel as well. There are western hospitals, so no need to fear about possible health situations, and western grocery stores if you're craving a taste of home.
All in all it's been a wonderful experience and anyone who is willing to get started is making a good choice.

The training in both Ho Chi Minh and Phnom Penh was well organized, fun, and structured. In Cambodia we had the opportunity to see some of the city during our lunch breaks, while still accomplishing a lot during the day to day training. In Ho Chi Minh all the former Languagecorps students meet on a regular basis for lunch or nights out, and its a great community to be a part of. Highlights have been our weekend trips to Sinoukville and Siem Reap, as well as the daily pleasures of experiencing new foods and sceneries constantly. I highly recommend it for anybody looking for a new place to start a new career or lifestyle.
