Teaching English in Mexico
When our friend Peter was here over the holidays, I interviewed him briefly about teaching English in Mexico. This is my first actual video on youtube -- I've done a couple of slideshows before --and I learned a few things technically in making it, so future efforts should improve. Anyway, if you are interested in teaching English, or if you are an old friend from Crestone who remembers Peter back when he was our "teenage slave" helping us build our house there, have a look!

Hello! I found your blog recently and am thrilled as I am thinking of moving to Mexico in a year or two. I've been searching for information on teaching English there so this post excited me very much. Alas I am not able to hear Peter - your voice is quite loud (sometimes too much so with volume on high to try and hear him) but cannot make out enough of what he's saying to get anything out of it. Sounds as if microphone was by you and not him? Thanks though, good thought!Barbara in Washington

Sorry, Barbara! This was my first attempt at making a video, just using my regular digital still camera, and yes its built in mike was right by me. Next time I do something like this, I will try to improve technically. In a nutshell, he recommends either having teaching experience or getting certified somehow. he's making about $500 US per month plus free rent in a house with other teachers.

Thanks Rosana! Those two pieces of information serve me well. Also your next post re the message boards is a terrific source of information! I now have those links, plus your and your friend's input. This is great stuff for one just starting to gather info!
