im new here, so hi to everyone first of all !!!!!  i was just curious how do people who speak esperanto become esperanto teachers, does it depend on the country you live in, etc since esperanto is not taught in the educational systems in the uk and belgium.....also, how would one get a job using esperanto ?

  Thanks in advance !

I'm sure each person might have a different story.  In some cases, it might receive some government support or at least acceptance in the public school system.  Here in China, I teach it side-by-side with English through the private sector in a primary school.

If you know of anyone who'd be interested in teaching English and Esperanto in China, please let me know.  There are opportunities available.

I'm in high school right now and am looking at my future careers. I would really love to be an instructor of Esperanto, but no US colleges/universities offer a degree in Esperanto, does anyone have an idea where I could get one? (I'm very much open to going to a foreign country to get certified) And If so would I be in demand as an Esperanto instructor?

Well, as Machjo said, you're in demand in China! As far as I know, you probably don't even need a certification, I have heard of many language teachers in the US and in Germany who don't have even a teaching degree... The biggest problem I see is learning another language like Chinese if you decided to teach in China.

I believe you can get a degree in Esperanto in Hungary. But I think you would probably need to know Hungarian to do that. Most people who teach Esperanto do it on a volunteer basis in their free time and very, very few of them have any formal qualifications. Relatively few people work professionally in the Esperanto world.

If you want to teach Esperanto, I would focus on learning Esperanto, inside and out, until you're fully fluent. And then study teaching, which you can do anywhere in the world. But as Macxjo alluded to, going somewhere like China is your best chance for doing something like teaching Esperanto full-time, and it isn't likely to be only Esperanto that you're teaching.

This will not give you formal 'right' to teach Esperanto, but from what I've heard it has VERY good courses for non-begginners: Nord-Amerika Somera Kursaro http://esperanto.org/nask/

(Sorry for poor writting, I'm no good in English)
