If only my language is that in-demand, I'd be more than glad to teach it to anybody for a fee. That would be the easiest job I can think of. LOL

hi there! teaching a foreigner my language has always interest me. it's an overwhelming thought that a foreigner would be interested in our culture and even would want too try out our dialect. i would be very eager to teach since learning and teaching is easy if both are interested.in this way education becomes two way the foreigner would learn your dialect and in a way you could also learn from them. that is really fun! lucky for you, you have this kind of job! do well! :)

When I was 18 years old I worked as a children's nanny in Finland. I liked teaching the seven year old daughter to speak English. I found it a very interesting country to live and work in. I easily got a work visa to do that placement through an official program. I think working in teaching English as a foreign language would be fascinating.

In fact long time ago I have known a friend via the net who is studying Chinese. Whenever he has some questions about Chinese, I will be helpful to answer him. You are right, I am proud that someone who is interested in my language and I shall try my best to help him study it. I do it for a friend but not for any profit purpose. I love China

It is great to teach someone your language but it is also great if someone is willing to teach you a language (in return). I have been looking for over 3 years to find anyone to teach me (practise it too) the hungarian language. I did not find 1 single person. I wish you luck.

I believe this will be memorable for you not only because of the money but also the great experience. It's good that someone is willing to know our own culture and we can learn about their culture too. It's also a way to know about culture difference and more about ourselves. Which country does your foreign student come from?

yeah that's right, since they showed interest in your culture, but we admit also that at first we are experiencing difficulty in teaching them because of language barrier they called and as well as the cultured where he/she was born. It's not easy at first but it was a rewarding or fulfilling once he/she learned something from you and he/she applied it in her everyday life.

Thanks for your guys sharing,and i think it may be awkward at first,but gradually we communicate more,which would make us feel better and easier.There would be no barriers if one is really interested in your culture.Good luck to all of us.
