Hi Zeigestein. I've nothing to add on the language, but having worked as an English teacher in Taiwan a few years ago, I'd heartily recommend reading some of the blogs on Dave's ESOL Island and forumosa for tips on job hunting and what to watch out for. First-timers are ripe for being ripped-off as I discovered to my cost! If you can, get work in a state school rather than a cram school, but definitely speak to some other teachers there first. Having said all that, there are good jobs and good times to be had there. Good luck!
