What's the fastest way to get a TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certificate? by howietp
I have been offered a job but apparently need to get an English teaching certificate for the work visa. TEFL/TESOL/CELTA/DELTA are all ok. Is if feasible to do something online and get it in a week or two? Thanks!

pub for the evening by howietp
Any suggestions for a decent pub this evening? Not a loud nightclub, but just a relaxed place to have a couple of beers or wine.
Ended up going to wine embassy. Not a pub but certainly relaxed and quiet enough for conversation. Thx for the suggestions. Read More
