 Absolutely! I was doing TEFL last year and I found it a fantastic experience. We're in a great position speaking English because we'll always be in demand to teach it. The culture may be different but really you get used to it. I was in Spain and at first I struggled. You'd imagine the cultures aren't that different but you'd probably be surprised. It's so hard at first and you have to stick at it despite missing loadsa stuff from home but now I prefer the spanish culture to here and want to go back!

Paul99 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThats a good answer Cat and thanks for your help.
Just 1 other thing......I have told her that i will come to her homeland and live there for a couple of months and she replied with yes at first and the more she thought about it she keeps saying...well you would never get used to living there because the culture is so different to Britain......I know this because i have already thought about the difference and have seen and heard about the culture. It seems when i ask her things about our future she is not convinced. But i need a solid way of convincing her that i am ready to move. I was thinking of completing a course "TEFL" and then teaching students as a full-time when i am living there. Also i think when i see her next i need to have a deep talk with her explaining my feelings for her, and finally telling her that i am ready to move to her country for a number of months-would you agree!

If it is not, then all you can really do is to reiterate again how much you love her and want to marry her, and be prepared to accept that she may want to go home once or twice a year to visit her family for two or three weeks - and you should go with her, if you have never done so, to meet her family and see her background.
Good luck!

Would you consider moving to her homeland? That'd be a gesture that would show her how much you love her and really, if she's been prepared to stay with you here for so long then maybe it's your turn to show you feel as strongly by going to her country. Ask her and see what her response is.
