The leaders of teaching EFL in France

Living and working in a foreign country is never easy at first. I just returned from France, a three-month teaching EFL in central Europe and would like to share what I learned with others who plan to teach there.

EFL is very popular in France at the time, especially in the company. English is introduced are not in school until very late in the school, so there is a lack of workplace fluent English. Now, with economic growth in Europe,English is the language are often needed to communicate with foreign customers (as well as German.)

While in France I worked for a private company teaching EFL for the management, executives and sales management. This is a common place and there are many language schools offer seminars at various companies. (I'm definitely more EFL teachers need so this can be an interesting way to explore!)

The following are some things I want to know before you leaveFrance:

1) Taxes - I will not try to explain the French tax system, is (as it would be practically impossible), removed over 23% of my salary in taxes, including health and retirement!. I think that is about € 1,300 minimum gross salary per month, so you can use as a measure of how well you deserve. (Wages in Paris is naturally higher.)

2) Medicine - probably to a medical examination to make sure that you are able to work. AfterYou work it takes for the health benefits they are entitled, even if you pay in advance and be reimbursed later.

3) The cost of living - it is usually cheaper than in Britain, perhaps between 25% -35% according to some sources. The food is very reasonable and the French often eat a full meal at lunch, a sandwich before the flight to Britain. But this means that they work overtime to compensate for the lunch breaks, etc. ..

4) Real Estate - French property areclassified as T or F (which means house or apartment) with a number next to her, the number of rooms (kitchen and bathroom). For example, a T2 was an apartment with a living room, kitchen and bathroom. If you are staying only for a short time, you may want to consider an agreement with a B & B or staying with a family (which in turn help your French too!)

5) Private Lessons - If you give private lessons in the planning of leisure(They are in great demand) in addition to main job, you can ask for around 20-25 € per hour. I was lucky that I lived with a family in exchange for food and shelter, I have 3 children gave English lessons per week.

6) Travel - France Make the most when you're there, it's an incredibly beautiful and varied country! The trains are relatively cheap and frequent. Get special offers, the most convenient if you keep at certain times and days so that in mind when planning travela journey. If you are in northern France, near Paris, you can also hop in Brussels (2 hours) or Amsterdam (4 hours). You should try to visit the southern region of Ardesche. It is a popular tourist destination, but worth a visit especially in summer.
The French (despite how people may stereotype) are really friendly and know how to enjoy life. Work will be an unforgettable experience professionally, socially and culinary!
