Under Korean law you cannot teach in schools legally without a degree and you can't even get a job in the country whilst on a student visa. You can face deportation.
'Cash in hand' style language exchange is okay, but anything more than that if you get caught it can be fairly serious. Still, I do know people who have found work... you just need to be careful.

Very different to China then. I had a working visa and although i studied with my wife i could walk into any uni to study for a short term course. perhaps you could look at just going there to study rather than here, you will pick up the language, culture and all things Korean much faster than at sheff - not to mention save a fortune!

With the return of my English remark today and it's improvement to an A I now have AAB at AS, and hopefully AAA after re-sitting one of the papers for the B. I'm feeling more confident I can get the A2 grades now! 
Hopefully I'll be learning alongside you all this time next year~

omg ZombieYoshi~! Saaaaaaame! I'm predicted AAB. oh god. I really doubt I can get though.. /: and about my ucas, bahahahahhaa. I was stupid, oh god >< MY TUTOR NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT! It's the really simple things full of just common sense that are out to get me, seriously. o.o
And yeah, I hardly have any money as it is, I don't have a card or anything because my mum doesn't trust me handling money, lol. So working in Korea is a big no no no at the moment.
I have two exams in January, english literature and english language and so if I pass them two really well (hoping A in Lit and B, or A, in Language) that means I just focus on Classics in summer! Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Never thought I would be excited in saying that /sob.
Good luck to everyone!~

Yeah, I'm predicted AAA, and although I don't think I'll get that I'm more confident of being able to achieve ABB now I have AAB (hopefully AAA after January) to build upon.
I can't say much about UCAS, I put all my A Levels in the A2 section :3 It's a good thing they had to return it to me to update the English Literature mark anyway. I only have one History resit in January and my first General Studies A2. Which reminds me, since Sheffield accept General Studies (I think) that makes me even more confident haha.

O M G.
NO?! THEY ACCEPT GENERAL STUDIES? WAAAE. THAT IS MY DOOM. OMG. I GOT A D LAST YEAR. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :{
and sob omg you're smart o.O
I do feel ishy confident about ABB, and tbh I take easyish subjects (English and English anyways, not as much Classics)

Well I know they accept it for some courses, and although they're not exactly clear for which ones I see no reason for East Asian Studies not to be one of them since it's not exactly Medicine or something. That you got a D probably doesn't matter because I assume they care more about your proper three haha.
Well my subjects are History, English and Classics, and I've always been pretty good at essay writing lol, although I'm not sure about Classics despite by some miracle of God getting an A in it after a year of getting Ds and Es.
I actually got the best AS grades out of all of my friends, which was weird because I'm used to being the mediocre one of the group, especially since most of them got 3+ A*s at GCSE and I got none
But yeah, I'm still worried about ABB, but I suppose it's natural D:
*cries*
and lol, I went on the 'korean studies' thingy and I found:
Re: Chinese Studies
Yikes guys, Korean is overrunning Sheffield's forum right now! Let's get back to Chinese
^
sobbbb. THAT'S US. WAHEY. WELL DONE ME FOR STARTING THIS THREAD X3
anywayssss. Aaa so do you do English combined? o.O I would have done that.. but I had no other lesson to choose from because I was already like 'I don't know what to doooo'
I went to Sheffield today actually! :] But it's only because my whole family live there, but they live in Killamarsh which is like a bit away from Sheffield Uni. So I've been told I am welcome to stay at my Grandma's sometimes and visit her and steal her food. Which is good, because she has nice food there. ><

Nah, I only do Literature.
I saw the Chinese thing too and got all proud
I'm all the way down here in Devon so I don't have the luxury of visiting Sheffield whenever I please D: Just getting to the Open Day was bad enough.
Ooo, I'll have to make sure to befriend you so I can go steal your grandma's food too >:3
Also, just a little extra:
Does anyone in this thread have any good Korean films or dramas to recommend, since I'm still pretty new to Korean media? Preferably films since I found hour long drama episodes hard to cope with after being so used to 23 minute anime and J-dramas, and despite my uneventful life and because I'm lazy I somehow find it hard to put aside the time from my mindless internet browsing regularly for hour long episodes.

On the Open Day I woke up and left at 6am, and got home at 9pm. You have no right to complain
Ooo, chocolate
Woah, big list haha. I already downloaded 49 Days a while ago, and I've heard Boys Over Flowers a lot so I think I'll try that out too. I'll Wikipedia the films and the rest of the dramas
I also downloaded the movies The Host and The Man From Nowhere last night as they seem to have made a lot of money and I'll probably watch one of them today.Original post by ZombieYoshi

Hey! Can I recommend you a couple of good Korean films?
My recommendations are:
1. The Host (this is defintely one of the most popular among foreigners, go and have a look at any DVD shop in your area and you can possibly find it. I even saw this DVD in a DVD shop in New Zealand!)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/
2.Spring, summer, fall, winter...and spring.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374546/
3.The Good, the Bad, the Weird
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901487/
You should try all three of them when you have time.
Have a look at the basic plots and reviews written by other foreigners on each film, which may be quite useful for you to get some background knowledge prior to watching them.
Also good luck with your Korean studies at uni, I'm Korean who's going to the UK next year. Cheers. (:
+) Oh I forgot another two!
4.The Chaser
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190539/
This film was released in the UK as well as Korea when it was made.
5.it's a bit old one but if you like a romantic-comedy movie, worth watching. There is even a re-make version of this film by Hollywood.

Well like I said in my last post I've already got The Host and I'll probably watch that one today, but thanks for the other recommendations, I'll check out their plots and stuff later
I recommend you watch anything by Kim Ki-duk and Park Chan-wook... they're the Gods of Korean cinema and the reason why the world has become obsessed with the country's incredible film industry! Korea hosts Asia's most important film festival too! :nods:
'Spring, summer, fall, winter...and spring' mentioned above is one of Kim's films. Very good.

Well, I just watched The Man From Nowhere (Ajeossi) because I decided to download a higher quality The Host. Loved it, nice emotional ending like I like too
I'll watch The Host then look into all these recommendations, which I didn't expect so many of haha Thanks all

I use subtitles. All my Korean extends to is a few greetings, counting, and a few other things
You don't have to watch Chinese ones, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I'm mainly doing it to get used to hearing the language and maybe pick up some culture. Plus they're not bad movies and shows either
Don't mind ambushing, I accidentally made the Chinese one about Korean and Japanese for a bit a month or so ago >.<

Well, I'm downloading Dream, City Hunter, Boys Over Flowers (Dramas), The Good, The Bad, The Weird, My Sassy Girl, The Chaser and Spring, summer, fall, winter...and spring (Films).
Now to look a bit more at the directors Owen suggested
Only one Kim Ki-Duk film really stood out for me: Dream
Then for Park Chan-Wook: The Vengeance Trilogy, Thirst, Joint Security Area and I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay.
Then there's another film called Taegukgi which sounded interesting.
I'm not sure how many of these I'm actually going to get around to watching haha.
