Hey there. Just thought I'd say a big hello and introduce myself before being a part of the site.
My names Anthony, I'm 21 and live in New Zealand (If you don't know what New zealand is just think Lord of the rings) in a little town in the waikato. I've been a big dreamer since I was young, always thinking about traveling overseas to foreign lands and experiencing the cultures, people and traditions throughout the world.
I just recently purchased the 140 hour TEFL course through I-to-I. It's been about a month since I started and I've been working as hard as I can to get through it. I'm finding my current module (Grammar) really hard and would definitely appreciate some help? (Hint hint haha) otherwise I'm really enjoying the whole thing.
I've had the pleasure of part-time teaching in a local language school teaching Korean missionaries how to speak english. It's great being in a classroom with a great language teacher (He's taught for over 40 years) and take notes throughout the day. A lot of great resources, people and experiences and it definitely cements the idea of doing this for the rest of my life.
Teaching English is really one of the greatest jobs on earth and I can't wait to get my own class and students to build into.
Look forward to seeing you around,
Anthony.

Hey Anthony, where in the Waikato are you from?
Awesome! thanks heaps. I'll check out those links/people asap. Anyone know if the Cambridge grammar essentials books are worth getting? they're quite expensive here but if they're a good resource I'd be keen to get them.
