i get a buzz from working a crowd. i like teaching partly because it's a form of public speaking, which helps me get my rocks off tbh. it's a power trip.
i also really love linguistics and the idea that our species is divided and/or united by different sets of coded sounds and characters. shyt is mindblowing to me.
i wouldn't say it's tedious as much as frustrating because some people are just not good at learning, and others are just not good at learning a foreign language. and you have to throw your americanized expectations of students and teachers in the bushes and meet them halfway or at least 1/4 of the way.
definitely go tho. if you can work the room and make people enjoy learning, you're bound to get some cute joints in your class and you have an automatic "in" when you wanna try to get a taste.
i cant speak for french people, in fact i've heard bad things, but to be an american speaking portuguese is to be living good, socially. they all want to learn your language so the fact that you've taken time to study theirs is ingratiating.
All true,americans do the when you switch from one language to the other speaking both perfectly, fluently and effortlessly.
Btw porco, () I'm off to a 4 day business trip, gonna be doing some simultaneous translating in workshops for a mining company, 2 days in Goias and another 2 in Sao Paulo.
