Hi Ameerah,

I live in Thailand. I teach English to German expats online and would love to help you with your project. I'm also looking for writing jobs as the online school I am with is about to swap teachers out for AI alternatives, which are great but they are 'going all the way' and are not offering our students many options to continue studying with people, which some of them prefer.

I speak intermediate-level German and can read and write at this level too.

Any ideas or any opportunities on your side?

Regards

Jaqueline

Lidl/Aldi for groceries, Rossmann/DM for toiletries, Vinted/Humana for clothes. Rent outside center, use monthly transit, buy second-hand furniture. Compare utilities, use Too Good To Go, loyalty cards, cashback. And plan, you should be ok ig.
