Er, there's a *cool* reggae concert tonight, you're welcome to join us. We're about 12 having dinner first, then a few more join later for the show itself.

We don't all know each other - I LOVE how this works on EF - but those that do know each other do so purely through the Forum.

This site provides many opportunites to get to know others. As a veteran on here I've met many, many wonderful people whom I call friends. I also make sure not to limit myself to just English speaking people (that way lies madness) although the temptation is wildly easy.

Utilise your partners friends - actively pimp them to provide contacts they have whom you may get along with, they'll understand the request and everyone knows someone in a similar position - and get to grips with the uphill graft that is learning the language.

But for spontaneity, you'd be hard pressed to find someone in Wollerau, so get your SoCal backside off the sofa and come and join us sometime. There are people from teens to Seniors who join us, it's a great community.

Did I mention the Gregory Isaacs concert at the Rote Fabrik this evening?
