French - formerly fluent but now rusty!

ii) language(s) you speak natively

v) short introduction about yourself
I'm 27 and moved over to Zurich about 5 months ago from London. I learnt some German at school and have taken a couple of intensive German courses. I'm a lawyer by background and now work in Tax & Legal over here. I work in an office where almost everybody speaks Swiss/High German as his/her first language and I am keen to be able to communicate better in German as quickly as possible!

It'd be great to meet some new people for a friendly chat over coffee. Please PM me if you're interested!
