Fun times in PP

Cambodia was wonderful. I don't think I had really high expectations for the experience (I was more looking forward to China), so I found the whole thing to be surprisingly lovely. As a whole, Cambodia is great: people are friendly, it's easy to get by with English, there is a decent expat community, the LC staff is helpful, the excursions are nice, and the fellow participants always ensure you're in good company. The course was more work than I or the other participants were expecting, but nothing impossible. We were definitely still able to enjoy our time.

China has been more challenging than expected, particularly in relation to the language barrier. I'm based in Xi'an, which has a very low English-speaking population. But the program followed through in securing me a job: I had a contract and a visa before I left the U.S. I only work three days a week, my apartment is paid for, and I get paid enough to live comfortably and be able to travel.

What would you improve about this program?
The program is specifically targeted at those staying to teach in SE Asia. Though I loved Cambodia and the opportunity to interact with participants staying in the region, it would have been nice to have more direct instruction pertaining to the challenges and systems of China.

What would you improve about this program?
If I had to change the course, I would add an instructor who specialised in China. Also, I'd probably spread the course out over 6 weeks.

Teach China Program- training in Cambodia

I was extremely disappointed with the staff and the program in Cambodia. From other friends who went on to thailand they said it was completely different than Cambodia because it was well organized and the staff was much more helpful.

The biggest disappointment was the fact that the staff of Languagecorps all promoted the use of drugs and where to find them and prostutution. I understand that some people decide to take part in these activities and they have the freedom to do so, but when it is being discussed during class time or when you are preparing people that are about to be around young children with that information that is where I draw the line.

Highly disappointed with the staff and program of Languagecorps Asia.

Response from LanguageCorps

We are very sorry to hear about your negative experience in Cambodia.

Please rest assured that we are addressing this with our staff and partners in Asia, and everybody is in agreement that in no way is it acceptable to encourage this sort of behavior.

We have been operating in Asia for over ten years now, helping thousands of people to teach English successfully, and the vast majority of our participants have had very positive experiences. There are certain realities to life in the region that are unfortunately out of our control, and staff does address such situations during orientation as part of overall safety concerns.

In this context, our director discusses how important it is NOT to do drugs in these countries since their governments have zero tolerance for Westerners who come for that purpose. We at LanguageCorps want to ensure that we provide the necessary knowledge so that our participants do not run afoul of the authorities and have a safe and rewarding experience. We have touched base with other participants to see if they felt any of our staff had promoted such activities and the response was a uniform no, but we will continue to make sure that trainers and staff understand the seriousness of such concerns.

If you have any other questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email us at info@languagecorps.com.

Kind Regards,
The LanguageCorps Team

Teaching in Hanzhong

The staff at Language Corps was extremely helpful in answering all my questions before departure. They gave me honest advice about the unique benefits and challenges of working in my chosen region.

The TESOL certification program helped me feel much more prepared to tackle teaching English in a foreign country. If you have little to no teaching experience, I would hightly recommend it.

Hanzhong, China

Teaching in Hanzhong was an amazing experience. I had the time of my life and would recommend languagecorp, (and I have) to anyone. Jan was extremely helpful and really took the time to walk us through the whole process.

The fact that I only worked fri-sun allowed me to travel all over China. You definetely need to if you are in Hanzhong cause there is not much going on there. I mostly knew that going in but the time off and ability to travel made it totally worth it. Your salary is plenty to live on confortably in China.

As anyone can imagine Living in China has a lot of challenges and can be difficult at times. But to say that I did it and that I overcame is such an empowering feeling. I would absolutely do it again if I had the chance.

Oh yah, the month in Cambodia before hand was so much fun. Meeting all of the other teachers, going to bars together, and traveling all over Cambodia was a blast. Was definetely sad when everyone took off to their assignments.
