I’m a 22 yr old recent college graduate looking to work in Spain for a year or so.  After hearing all of these horror stories on how hard it is to get a work visa, I was wondering about the success rate of people teaching English in the black, and what a person who has done that might advise.  I’m not looking to make a lot of money, just enough to live on and do a little traveling.  Any info/advice is greatly appreciated!

In view of the lack of replies I think you should try a teaching site where this topic is one of the regulars and you ought to find more than enough information about where when how etc. If you are an EU citizen the responses will be fairly helpful, if from USA they will be more negative due to the frequency with which this question is asked. Depending how serious you are then a quick look without posting might be enough for you.

Whistler, did you see this article on teaching in the black Written by someone who’s done it.
