Hello everyone. I am an American citizen. I want to teach English in Spain. Do I need a certificate to teach there or is having a BA degree sufficient? How can I get started? I taught English in Japan for two years. Will this experience help? Thank you for the assistance.

You should be able to find all the answers to your questions by conducting a search on this well-covered topic but I invite fresh discussion as well.

I can recommend you visit http://www.expatriatecafe.com/ for more details. It's a site geared towards the United Statesen who wants to teach English in Spain. LOTS of useful information there. In fact, one of the owners/operators (Chica) is one of our original message board members.

Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan
