quote I worked as a TEFL teacher in Vienna for 1 year. The cost of living was high but wages were very good. I would recommend teaching English in Austria but it is necessary to speak German. Definitely do a course before you leave.

quote There are many teachers in Vienna, so you should consider that, small apple and all... Having a CELTA is advisable.
