How do I apply for a student visa to legally teach English in Spain?

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas The Most Common Obstacles in ESL for English Learners From Spain First of all, nearly all the statistics and reality observation show that English in Spain is low. The problem is a set of factors whose central aspect lies in the oral part.

As a result, children do not get used to the English language from an early age, and as we know, the acquisition of a new language is better sooner than later in life.
