I taught overseas for many years. First of all, it's highly unlikely that you would get a job in a public school in a foreign country without being a native speaker of the language, even if you do want to teach English. Those jobs go first to their own citizens. Many foreigners teach English at language institutes, but the pay depends on your qualifications. You need to major in teaching ESL and perhaps minor in Spanish. You won't get rich teaching English, but you may be able to support yourself with the right qualifications.

Hey friend! If you want to teach english here in latinamerica, i thing u must go to argentina, cause, in chile, for example, they spaeak too fast and with an strange acent, and with the argentinians, you maybe understand spanish better, good luck, Caro, Mendoza, Argentina.
