@kwadwofrimpong155 Hi Eric, thank you for the friend request! Are you enjoying using WAVAengage? I just spoke to my colleague Sally and she told me that there is a problem with her system so she is not able to accept your friend request, but she would like to say hello

I was just speaking to one of my colleagues and he said that people who have been on the programme have found bar work or au pair/nanny jobs fairly easy to come by even if they are not fluent in Spanish.
I think the problem you might find this time though is that unemployment in Spain is very high right now so that could make finding a job more difficult than usual. On the plus side, you are an EU resident so there are no visa restrictions to be considered when applying for jobs out there and if you went on the Language Assistant programme your time is totally your own outside of the 15 hours a week you spend teaching the family.
It’s always worth considering a more formal TEFL position when you get out there as well, most colleges don’t require teachers to be fluent in the native language.
Hope this helps, if you go please let me know how you find it? I have been planning my escape to Barcelona for a while now so any tips about life in Spain would be most welcome

Buenos dias Harriet! Como estas? Me llamo Robert y yo hablamos un poco de espanol. Muy poco!
I see you are interested in working in Spain, any particular area?

I have spoken to the team member you contacted, Jamie, and he said it is not impossible for Chinese people to do this course but the visa conditions do make it quite difficult. The best thing for you to do would be to try and apply for a visa first before booking anything, that way you will not lose your deposit if you cannot travel due to visa issues. This company can help you obtain your visa for travelling to the US, tell them you need a J1 visa for seasonal work. http://www.uk.cibt.com/
