After reading all your comments, I �d really like to work in Brazil!!
But as some of you say, it depends where you work, I mean the kind of school (public or private) or language institute....
Here in Peru, in schools, some teachers start with $200 - $250 (as I did 5 years ago)..... and they work like 30hours a week...(depending where the school is located). What can we do when we start!!!
Welll... To be honest, a well-paid teacher earns $600-1000 a month.
In "soles", our local currency, is like 1800 soles to 3000.
What a difference right?
Hugs around the world. 
Interesting topic Anutka.

Okay, seriously, I supply teach in my country and I make 200 dollars a day for about 6 hours of work. For 10 days, which is two weeks, I can make 1300 dollars, depending on how much tax I have to pay. When I worked full time, I was making up to 2600 dollars every two weeks. |

@Rosangella and others.... those amounts given for Brazil are unrealistic. I think they are in Reais, not in Dollars. Note: The Real is, on average R$2 (currently R$1.87) to the dollar, so halve those amounts to get a realistic idea. The original posters of those comments haven �t come back to confirm, but I �ve spoken to teachers all over the country and it is very rare to earn the amounts they �ve mentioned, especially working for schools. Some private teachers charge high amounts per hour, but for schools, definitely not that much.

The payment I mentioned is real for me, as well as all the work, worries, problems, and everything else that is "attached" to the job. I �m a full time worker in the language school where I work, I have no free time and I �m always working or preparing something (including teaching in the school on Sundays when a workmate can �t go to work). But again, that is MY salary, it doesn �t mean that the people who work with me receive the same amount of money, they actually receive less than I do, approximately 850 dollars a month, but they are paid by the hour, I �m not. |

Keeping in mind that the cost of living is different in different countries, so what may seem a low salary in Germany or Brazil or the United States, may in fact be a very high salary for that particular country. |

You are right Reeta...
When I was in Canada I was speechless of the high costs of everything, of course compared to the costs of the same things in Mexico, I remember one soda there costs around 1.30 Canadiasn dollars when in Mexico they cost half a Canadian dollar = 7 Mexican pesos

Thanks Luoliveira : )
I think the cost of living factor is important, though it is fairly easy to research the cost of living in a particular country, but something like ESL teaching earnings isn �t as easy to discover. I think the exercise has been interesting for those within a country too. I know I �ve found it interesting.
