>>49982042Let me tell you, Germany is a difficult place to live even if you can speak the language. Almost every foreigner I know doesn't pay taxes or pay into the state pension plan because they simply can't afford it. The truth of the matter is, if you're a white non-EU citizen, you're pretty much second-class in the eyes of the state. Things rings especially true at this moment in time and I don't expect things to get better.
You'll really need to improve your English if you want to be a teacher. I've had students who can write better than you.
There are a few options for teaching in Germany, but it basically boils down to whether you want to work for regular schools or private language schools. The former requires you to be a certified teacher and will provide you with benefits. Dealing with bratty bastards and ghetto trash Turkish kids is the obvious downside. The latter option doesn't require you to be a certified teacher and is much more laid back job, but you'll have to pay your own way for everything and it really isn't viable. I know this firsthand from working in both types.
I was in your position about a decade ago. I'd still encourage you to come here if it's your dream, and I don't regret moving here, but life here isn't always rosy from a financial/career standpoint.
