In general, do teachers of a language other than English have a difficult time finding work in U.S. high schools? Would there be more luck at the university level?
I appreciate your educated opinion.

I know you would need a degree--I would Master's coupled with Ph.D. (or working towards one)--in order to work at the university level...
I'm just wondering if there's more demand for foreign language teachers in the U.S. high school or U.S. university setting.

I suppose that it really depends on what language is being taught - high schools pretty much offer the standard Spanish, French, and German, sometimes Japanese, and maybe a few others if the school is large enough. At the university level, it would be hard to get a job without a degree. At least a Bachelor's, and possibly even a Master's Degree, depending on the university.

Hola: Since you understand Spanish, then you'll be able to educate that language. Italian and German are the following languages you may also be trained and educate. Russian is the opposite one you'll be able to be trained, and to your understanding you do not have got to recognise or be trained all of the overseas languages so as to end up a language trainer. My niece from Virginia Beach is a Spanish trainer and she or he love educating that language. I could love to be trained German, Russian. I talk, learn and write Spanish and a few Italian. It could be quality and main that each individual be trained a couple of language. I want you well good fortune and preserve running rough on the ones objectives; God bless you.

I'm not sure about other regions, but in Texas there is a shortage of high school foreign language teachers. Spanish teachers are especially needed.

I think yes, they do have more luck... have some friends that moved to Japan and Madagascar to teach english.
It might be easier, but the things you have to go through in other countries are hard, so guess sometimes you have to be patient or get ready for a new adventure.
