Are these all monthly amounts?
How long does it take to receive money from Taiwan to South Africa
It depends on the bank you're sending to. Some reflect within 24hrs at your bank and then you have to sign a particular form to declare the funds before they appear in your bank account
Try using Wise the App Mntaka
Yoh you went off topic Oo
Its hard to save 5k im rsa so i think its great you can save 10k+
Please share the prices cc
Ticket prices?
Which flight centre did you use and how much wS it?
Hey, are you leaving soon?
I used Cheaptickets.com to compare but now I just go straight to Emirates site
Girl waze wathula, upright?
Enjoyed the story time😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed
just saw your chanell today-very informative-iam a teacher in Botswana wanna enquire how can i reach you privately
Hey you can find me on Facebook and on Instagram I am Stha330
Are the apartments usually furnished?
Yes they usually are furnished.
Greetings may I ask, is there any organizations, sponsors that borrow south African money, to go to Taiwan? I am really interested in going to teach in Taiwan but problem is finances. Anyone with information please help me
Unfortunately I don't have any that I know. Hopefully someone will recommend one for you 🙏
@@sthandilengcobo oky no problem dear.
All the spices, I see you 😂
Hy lovey I'm about to leave my job for this gig but I need to know if it's worth the risk, is it possible for you and I to talk privately I have so many questions 😢
You can find me on Instagram at Stha330
@@sthandilengcobo I don't have Instagram 🤣🤣... Facebook?
@@leratomatobako3999 Sthandile Ngcobo on Facebook
The only thought in my mind was not here please. I hope Macau and Hong Kong were fun
They were lovely 😍 I wish I had more time
Would you advise someone to leave their permanent job in government to come and teach English in Taiwan?
I think the best way to go about it is to watch as many people living here as possible, gather all the information then compare. That decision needs you to think about it a lot
Yho glad to hear from someone who had left left their permanent job in government. I am in the same situation I want to leave my permanent job for teaching English. How can I get hold of you? I want to ask a few questions
You can DM me on Instagram I'm Stha330 or Facebook Sthandile Ngcobo
Happy belated birthday.God bless you. Glad you enjoyed yourself 👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😃
Setswana sa go is like me when I speak Zulu 😂😂. I am glad you had fun hle. Sbawel…
🤣 as long ningizwa nje laugh 🤣 😂
My fav! 😂❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching 😃
Which school would you recommend between private and public, and why?
Honestly speaking benefits are similar. And with Public schools you're still on a yearly contract as well but mahbe the workload is more in private schools than it is in public
I send my birthday wishes to you.
Thank you very much 😃
which city are you in so you could do my hair as I do yours?
I'm in Hsinchu County
wow! that's my target location. My research tells me that the cost of living is more affordable as compared to the others. You can confirm since you are on the ground.@@sthandilengcobo
Hey,dear thank you for the video.ı'm currently doing an application for Taiwan and they requested a self introduction video for oral assessment purposes .Do you have any tips on that? Someone told me to wear a weave when shooting the video LOL that threw me off a bit. Hhayi bo! Ngobani?
I was in my afro when I shot that video 😀 but I guess they're saying that because of "beauty standards" if you get me. I guess it all boils down to what image works for you, I'm not a weaves person so I showed them what they'll be seeing most of the time. For the video just ensure you mention important information about yourself and any information that is relevant to working with children and teaching. Be sure to be audible and well articulated, the video is mostly about HOW you speak English more than it is about other things. Most of all be confident when doing it 😀 throw in a smile here and there. Good luck
Also make mention of why you're interested in moving to that particular country
@@sthandilengcobo Thanks a lot sis. 💚
How is the food at school I know here the food is not that great 9 times out if 10
It's taking me some time to adjust to some things. But because we get a lot of veggies and I'm trying to stay healthy I focus on that 😅 but it's really not what I'm used to
Taiwan sounds so much better than Korea .... Korea's salaries are so low.
I think so too. But they say the standard of living is alao lower there
The ATM book thing is the ghetto nje 😂
In the fourth industrial revolution 😩 and we still need a bank book.
Thank you for the video! Very informative. Did you know the language before you moved?
No I didn't. I only knew how to say hello 😂 I'm still in the process of trying to learn the basics to get me around. Google Translate has been my fighter in most situations
Thank you for your video. May I ask if you are able to work part time if you have come through a scholarship (PhD)?
As far as I know you are able to, but I've only heard of people from Eswatini I'm not sure about other countries
Thanks a lot Stha...very informative ❤
You're welcome 😊
Your hair is gorgeous. You have skills
You can literally start a ben and Betty hair salon😂❤
Actually 🤔... 🤣 a lot could use my skills.
The cost of living, i think its not bad. But when you convert prices to your own currency....yooooooooooo....then it becomes expensive. Am learning not to convert shaaa.. Happy birthday in advance. I just arrived last week. I look forward to meeting you in person ❤❤
A very warm welcome to Taiwan 😊 . Listen I have been trying not to convert but I just can't help it 😂 I need to stop because WOW. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes 💗
Good to see you again. Yes lets have a commotion for the hair❤❤❤. Am in Taiwan now,thanks for the video,its helpful
Can i ask, how long did the whole process take? After applying how long did it take for you to secure an interview?
what app do you use for train & bus besides gmaps?
I use Bus+ because I'm an android user, IOS has a different one but if you search on your appstore there's a few of them available. Google map sometimes has the times wrong
I've been in south korea and china and compering with this I'll choose China ober qnd over again, depending on your lifestyle you can safe a minimum of R20 000 ler month and mind you i lived in Beijing.
I heard China pays really well 🤔 maybe it's something one could look into in the future
Hello, does the medical check have to be authenticated at dirco?
No it doesn't need to be
Hy cc I heard that some cram Schools require dirco process is that true?
Hey. I'm not sure how true that is, maybe some do but a lot of them don't require it.
New subbie here 🎉 a fellow TH-camr
Thank you for subscribing 🤩welcome
Hey beautiful!!! You really enjoyed your holidays. So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️
Hey there. I had the most fun no lies 😊
Hi Thank you so much for your video. I really wanna teach abroad. I have been trying Portugal but haven't been successful, i been thinking about Thailand b4 i came across your video. So now, im like hhmm maybe Taiwan. I would love to talk to you, i have some questions to ask. I have worked as a teacher for so many years but resigned. I wanna ask you about VISA application, working hours in Taiwan, level of racism and how they treat you there. I was so hurt one day seeing a video of one of SA teachers in China with a swollen eye, (bamushaya emsebenzini) and she had to come back to SA.
Hi Nomthandazo. My Insta is linked to my profile you can feel free to DM me I'll ahare as much as I can
if you have a unisa degree it means no go at all?
Very unfortunately at the moment they don't consider UNISA at all
Why
They say UNISA is distance learning
Your hair looks so beautiful and fancy. I need to start learning 😂😢
Certain situations force us sana 🤣 and guess what? It has become a norm to me
We have more car accidents than plane crashes. But we climb cars, taxi's and buses everyday.😂😂😂😂 Fear can really block you.
Wow! This is so profound 👌🏾 exactly, we'd literally not do anything in life if we allow fear to rule us
I think Taiwan is suitable for people with less to zero financial commitment back home. Then the saving potential would be great. Good seeing you. The hair still looks great for Taiwan.
Yeah having to deal with 'black tax' or responsibilities back home makes it hard to save as much as you'd like honestly. Lovely seeing you Judy
which counry is better for people with high financial committments?
@@chuluvokozela I have only worked in Taiwan but Judy has worked in different countries and recently shared a video comparing some countries on her channel
@@chuluvokozela but with the information I know, China pays more
@@sthandilengcobo Saudi Arabia, UAE, China, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar
😂😂😂Iskhwama sakho siyaginqika
🤣 🤣 😂 that time sasisayophonswa nje oku worse 😫
So they dont accept PGCE from UNISA?
Unfortunately they don't
Thanks
Is this salary for people working in public schools?
Yes it is
Awww ...I understand how annoying it is to loose that video. Content creation is hard. I tried vlogging one time and I almost went crazy 😂😂. For the savings, relax!! You were able to save yourself 👍👍 well-done. 2024 will be a better and beautiful year
Content creation is not child's play shame 🤣 . But ke we have our whole life times to create so 😁
