If you want symbols, there's always tools like http://esperanto.typeit.org/ that will help you with that, but I know that's kind of a bother. Also, especially Spanish and Catalan are currently already greatly covered here as for wiki pages, and we don't get all that many requests. The other way around would be great, because I don't think we have a lot of people who are native at English and have CA/ES as foreign languages (which I think is more ideal for e.g. CA→EN, while the other way around would be better for EN→CA).

I'm currently taking a couple of classes here related to education — early stage foreign language education (how the current English education works from primary school until high school), Japanese teaching methodology (teaching Japanese to foreigners, though they seem to focus on teaching it in Japan) and English teaching methodology. I (since two weeks ago) and another student here are teaching one of my friends a bit of Dutch because she's going to study in the Netherlands from September on, and hopefully I'll be introduced to another person in the next couple of weeks (one of my teachers knows another student who wants to learn Dutch). So far, I've really enjoyed doing that, my main issue is when I have to say "I know this adjective changes sometimes but I don't know why" — being a native speaker sometimes has its disadvantages.

One of the things I'm currently still very unsure about is what language I'm going to teach. I can probably teach Dutch, but that isn't a very popular language. English is an option for any country that doesn't have it as a native language, and I could probably teach Japanese too, to beginner and lower intermediate students. I think that'll all depend on where I want to teach and what the demand is.
