Not sure about black cats but recently I've been tossing dead fish out my window. Do you know if that's bad luck? I hardly seen black cats here....and I haven't seen to many ladders here either. You know what they say about ladders and dreams in psychology class don't you!

It's good luck in China to throw dead fish out of a window, it makes the house smell better too.

A:1. Native speaker. 2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled.  This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries.  -- Spiderboenz
