What's this?

Details

Description
I'm a teacher from Australia working on a non-profit language website in Europe, with the philosophy that learning should feel more like entertainment than work. Still in the development stages, working primarily with people from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Latin America.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Language practice
Art Projects
Help with Computers/ Internet
Teaching
Help
Fun, creative role for native Spanish, Portuguese or Italian speakers.
4 hours per day in an awesome location creating sentences and images for a language website. No experience necessary, just a positive attitude and a smile. Depending on your strengths and interests, the work can be as simple as translating short sentences (maximum of 7 words), finding stock images for sentences online, or substituting words, eg. "Where is the _____?" It's more interesting than it sounds and it's definitely not a typical type of job. If you're open to trying new things, it's an opportunity to improve your creativity and explore a unique teaching methodology. You'll also get the opportunity to experience the culture and have fun, as the focus here tends to be more on socializing and recreation than it is on work.
