Welcome to the TeamTalk discussion area. For now, any topic of interest to language professionals may be posted here. We're particularly interested to know your thoughts about the following:

• Freelance rates - what's an average and "good" rate in the current market?
• Direct or agency? Do you work directly with clients, through an agency or both? What are the pros and cons?
• Private classes - are they worth the hassle for the (usually) much lower rates of pay?
