Life as an Aussie English Teacher in Czech Republic | Ep 2 S3 Chinwag Tuesdays

G'day! Welcome back to Chinwag Tuesdays, the podcast from Aussie English with Amanda where we chat about language, culture, and life as an Aussie abroad or a migrant finding their feet in Australia.This week I'm chatting with Tara, a fellow Aussie originally from Newcastle who packed up her life after graduating from uni and moved to Prague, Czech Republic, to teach English. And she's built an entire teaching business there, working with kindergarteners, marketing teams, airport staff, and even C1-level students who genuinely know more grammar than she does (her words, not mine!).In this episode we chat about:• What it was like moving to Czech Republic knowing absolutely no one• The cultural shock of a country where small talk just isn't a thing• How Czech education works, including high school until age 21• The challenges of teaching English when immersion is almost impossible• What the phrase 'silly sausage' apparently translates to in Czech (we'll let you use your imagination)• How living and working abroad builds confidence, business skills, and a whole new pace of speakingWhether you're a migrant learning English in Australia, a teacher thinking about moving abroad, or just someone who loves a good Aussie chin-wag, this one's for you.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻📲How to Contact TaraFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1C9XbqGjXp/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: www.instagram.com/@tarainpragueEmail: [email protected]⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Looking to improve your own Aussie English?I offer 1:1 coaching and online courses designed to help you sound more natural, build confidence, and feel at home in Australian conversations.To see what other Aussies are doing around the world, check out these episodes:Adriana MattAmanda EmmaTomPamOzzie MacguireMaxAnnaJemBenAndyMicheleJosieCliftonMikeChris
