semi-new arrival to Baar/Zug area

I'm a Canadian Brit who moved to Baar in August. Just beginning to get my feet beneath me, and I still haven't managed to acquire any German skills. I'm looking forward to exploring some of the social connections and events. I was living in London last year, and Baar has been a real change of pace...

I've lurked on the forum before, and decided to bite the bullet and register to say hi.

Welcome to the area! I live in Baar.

Let me know if you have a question about
German or the myriad of rules the Swiss have.

Re: semi-new arrival to Baar/Zug area

I'm trying to learn German (and the myriad rules!) but it's not a quick process... Fortunately I teach primary school, so I have 18 willing junior teachers to drill me in my pronunciation.

If there are any social events/meet-ups in Baar or Zug, I would very much like to tag along! Or are all the events usually in Zurich?

There is the Zug women's club

http://www.ziwc.ch/

There is a corresponding men's club to which I belong:

There is bowling, skiing, wine tasting, hiking, but not
so many pub nights.

Pub nights are more Zürich/Basel/Bern.

Re: semi-new arrival to Baar/Zug area

We should so something in Zug sometime though. There's a few of us who live or work in the area. I can recommend the language school in Baar - www.softlanding.ch - they might have an evening course running.

Hi, I just moved to Zug and I have to say I am also trying to get used to the surrounding especially among the German speaking locals. I am yet to take up any German lesson, but will do it soon. Was hoping to get into any meet ups/ events if there`s any in the near future....

Welcome to all of you and there is quite a load of people in the area - we should really set something up soon, it's been ages! Volunteer, anyone?
