I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
I wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people.
From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL
What a nice story, teacher. I also feel like doing something very related to the fields of communication and social interactions, that's why I'm studying filmmaking and also doing things as radio shows.
ResponderBorrarI hope you have luck on studying Applied Linguistics some day.
See you soon.
Have a nice week teacher.
Not all people can say they're happy and feel their decision about studying was right. Lucky you, teacher! And it's a great thing you wanna keep going with your linguistics studies.
ResponderBorrarSee you!
It's really nice how you could work it out to mix everything you wanted in your decision. I really hope that you will suceed in your plan of study a PHD in another country! Have a nice week.
ResponderBorrarI can imagine how stressful is being a teacher, so it's cool to hear that you enjoy it. I think that's the formula: to love what you do. I hope I'm taking the right choice in my studies so as you did in your youth.
ResponderBorrarHave a nice week.

ResponderBorrarHi teacher :)
ResponderBorrarStress will always be, but most important is that you look happy working as teacher. So you are a lucky man, I hope that your travel work :)
Hahaha, hi teacher! Really, I'd never heard that joke, but it makes sense... See u!
ResponderBorrarLinguistics PHD, WOW, that have to be difficult. You'll became like Noam Chomsky, haha.
ResponderBorrarThe first career that I tried to study was Linguistics, sadly i went out of it because i couldn't picture myself as a teacher. I admire the pation for teaching. Keep it up!
