Nixxy, I'm looking at teaching Chemistry in England, but some Australian options are coming up too and I'm considering it. Any fun tips/tricks/suggestions?

Lots of native speakers use "alot" but that's incorrect and they should be shunned by their friends and family for this. Unacceptable.
An important thing to note is that native speakers have an inherent understanding of very small parts of speech and regional speech patterns change things too. I find most of my ESL students to actually understand the formality of the English language really well, it's the tweaks where issues come up. Colloquialisms are the biggest part of this, but it goes does to really small things. The mispronunciation of certain letters, or syllables. A lot of the population gets annoyed by it, but we really shouldn't since if we were put into a new country or area where a different language is spoken, we'd have the exact same issue.
A number of educational studies have shown this to be a large contribution xenophobia in areas, where people will feel uncomfortable around immigrants because of the dissonance created in speech patterns. I find this all very interesting! It's an academic rabbit hole that goes deep

look out it's a trapI'll show you around / drink beer with you.
Welp this was what I was going for. I can pretty much have the job if i want it based on my qualifications and a few skype interviews I've had. I mostly wanna use teaching as a way to travel the world, so I'm not looking for a job that will keep me in one place. I'm even considering full time supply work.As for secondary education level chemistry; no! Just no!!!!! You will be rip out your own intestines so that you can have something to strangle yourself with!
If you come to Australia and you are ever in Adelaide I'll show you around / drink beer with you.

I do like beer.
And meeting internet weirdos has generally gone well. Except for that one time in Chicago, but we don't talk about Chicago.

I couldn't tell you much at all about how English is constructed or proper grammar, and it's the only language I know. I think this is true for most (1st language) English speakers
A friend of mine ... suggested for our first meet up to share a few bears*).
Welp this was what I was going for.
