    Jobs in the golf trade and teaching assistants in Tenerife. Advice needed please?

    Hi. Is their anybody able to give us some good websites on jobs in golf and working with pre-school children? My husband is a professional golf coach and I am a class room assistant with children under the age of 6. Anybody able to guide us in the right direction for job information would be much appreciative. Thanks.

    It won't actually be for another 12-18 months. My husband and I are at the moment attending Spanish lessons so on arrival we will be at least able to speak and understand the local lingo!!! Hopefully....

    Best of luck - hope they are fairly intensive lessons


    ... and as for German, dear Sir OG ... to quote Mark Twain

    A dog is "der Hund"; a woman is "die Frau"; a horse is "das Pferd"; now you put that dog in the genitive case, and is he the same dog he was before? No, sir; he is "des Hundes"; put him in the dative case and what is he? Why, he is "dem Hund." Now you snatch him into the accusative case and how is it with him? Why, he is "den Hunden." But suppose he happens to be twins and you have to pluralize him- what then? Why, they'll swat that twin dog around through the 4 cases until he'll think he's an entire international dog-show all in is own person. I don't like dogs, but I wouldn't treat a dog like that- I wouldn't even treat a borrowed dog that way. Well, it's just the same with a cat. They start her in at the nominative singular in good health and fair to look upon, and they sweat her through all the 4 cases and the 16 the's and when she limps out through the accusative plural you wouldn't recognize her for the same being. Yes, sir, once the German language gets hold of a cat, it's goodbye cat. That's about the amount of it.

    I am a teaching assistant in Spanish school and will gladly give you the email of the guy to send your CV to, if you send me a PM as soon as you are actually resident here. You do not need to speak ANY Spanish to become a Classroom Assistant. It is not one of the requirements to apply for the job... however it might be a help for you personally and enable you to be accepted onto the teaching staff/communicate better if you have basic Spanish.
