Hello there! Once again, welcome to Abidjan! To find a job in a newspaper wont be easy without knowing French. You may apply for the position in the UN, they may have some openings for english speaking expats. In my previous posts I have put some links of the schools in the area where you live and where you can apply for the teaching position so as the website of the university where you could attend the French classes with the group. Or you can get a tutor for 30.000-35.000 cfa a month but that one wont be very professional. Ask your neighbours, they defenatly know someone who teaches french or would like to give you classes.

hey! Well I kinda fell into teaching English at the moment and I have only taken one one school child as I have my full time studies. But after awhile I started getting requests from lots of ppl. So if you still want to get involved then I think I can help you out. :)
Where you from? I'm South African.
As for friends, well I'm meeting such awesome and wonderful ppl at the moment and I do not speak a word of French - I want to but with the studies I haven't been able to study the french yet. Soon soon, once these blasted assignments are over... blegh...
We sometimes have an english speaking dinner on a thurs...like this thurs And there is an English speaking coffee morning that happens every single wed morning at a different house each week, great ppl there. My mom goes every week so she can take you along if you want?
Where you staying in IC? We are living in Marcory.
