Learning Russian/Teaching English

Subject: Learning Russian/Teaching English Author: Peter Hi, I have just graduated in Maths in England, English my native tongue. I really want to learn Russian but don't have a lot of spare cash, so was thinking of teaching English as a way of supporting myself in Russia. I don't have any language qualifications except English (Lang & Lit) GCSE's. Does anyone have any advice on the most cost effective way of getting some sort of TEFL certificate (if needed) and getting a job, possibly doing a course in Russian before/during my stay? Thanks, Peter. 19/08/05 01:07
