I Wish I Knew This Before Moving To China

Before moving to China I did a lot of research, but nothing could have prepared me for the reality. In this video, I said some of my experiences living in China. Some of which were disappointing.

I hope you enjoy it. ♥️

Expectations = Disappointments, I guess. We live, we learn. 🤷🏾‍♀😂

Thank you for watching. ♥♥♥

In South Africa your first day at school you are already friends with a few teachers. I appreciate community culture we have in South Africa.

Thanks for sharing your journey with the world, your videos helped me through some ruff times in life. Once again... Thanks

[wandilewawa]

Lmao exactly even going to another school nje in SA you’d just expect that you are orientated and taught the culture of the school. You’re so strong.

It is the saving money topic for me! I feel like that needs a video in detail because that is what i am experiecning in Japan. I actually feel so sad about it because wow wtf is this and when do i get to save and invest. Not forgeting that the people who inspired me to move have been abroad for 7 years plus.

Hi Nomfundo. Thank you for your great videos. I am looking at teaching in China, but also in two minds about it. 😅 I have taught in South Korea and it was not the greatest experience (I think I was in an extremely isolated area)

I just saw your latest video, you are 32 but look like you are 20

[wandilewawa]

I relate to this. Your first school work culture was me when I taught at a private school. The ghetttooo😭😭😭

[koketsonkanyane]

One thing about me? I’m gonna watch all your videos ke sana 😅❤

[wandilewawa]

Yes I can’t wait for that video. I genuinely think that you can save even more than 50% on your first month your pay check and still pay off some debts back home/ send money 😭 I look forward to that video lmao

Lucky you
Are you teaching IEB?
This would mean you are teaching at an expensive well resourced private school.
Being a teacher abroad, you have to expect the unexpected and figure things out quickly on your own.
Been there, done that (just not IEB), some random American syllabus.
I suppose talking to other teachers helps and immersing oneself into the material and giving it your all, is always the best way to go about it.

This sounds like Germany. You don't talk to someone and no one talks to you. It's a friendly "Hello" or where I live "Grüß Gott", but otherwise no real community. *lol* I'm scared about the water part because here water is the best-regulated food. You can drink it out of the tap, and you are fine.

Hey Nomfundo. I saw something on Facebook, saying that now borders are opened in China for ESL teachers, is this info true or false?
