English conversation group Basel

Hello

I recently joined my new job in a Pharma company in Basel and moved to this region. I found this forum very helpful and informative. (Thanks moderators)

I intend to join some English speaking conversation group in Basel city.
If there are some English speaking ppl who meet regularly at some place, I would like to join them. Please guide me when and where they meet.

If there is no English conversation group, I intend to start one.

My suggestions for this group are....

Any one can join it,
Meeting regularly at some place (restaurant) in Basel for a drink or so.
We can select one day (working day) when we can meet at some fixed time...... (may be Thursday at 7 or 8 pm)
You can come and go anytime.
We can talk about anything .... from politics to fashions....

I would like to invite all senior members (for some advice or guidance) and juniors and newbies (for having fun).

Comments...... ?

You might try joining in with the monthly curry club thingy - look on the Events area. You can talk about any topic between mouthfuls of tikka masala.

Cheers,
Nick

Re: English conversation group Basel

Centrepoint has tons of events going on and it's always in English...

They also have English conversation groups but if you're advanced, you probably will do find just going to some of their events.

Hi Srk!

I'm a new member here, and I would like to join your group
I've been living in Basel for a year now, just moved to the French border with my boyfriend. I think he will be interested in your group too, he's from Manchester and I'm Italian.

Hope it will start soon

Cheers! Valeria

Re: English conversation group Basel

Hi everyone,
I've been here for (a very hectic) 6 months and now I'm making the time to get to know others outside of work and start learning German / French. I live in Basel and I'm good for drinks etc. whenever/wherever...
Tim
